• Validate form request using validate method on request

  --PATH app\Http\Controllers\<YourController>.php

  // Use before class definition
  use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
  // Controller’s method
  public function store(Request $request)
  {
  	$request->validate([
  	    'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:10',
  	    'body' => 'required'
  	]);
  
  	// Validated
  }

  	    'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:1',
  	    'body' => 'required|max:2',
  	]);
