Hey @kartik,

1. In Programming validations are a handy way to ensure that your data is always in a clean and expected format before it gets into your database.
2. Laravel provides several different ways to validate your application incoming data
3. .By default Laravel’s base controller class uses a ValidatesRequests trait which provides a convenient method to validate all incoming HTTP requests coming from client.
4. You can also validate data in laravel by creating Form Request.

Laravel validation Example

$validatedData = $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required|max:255',
            'username' => 'required|alpha_num',
            'age' => 'required|numeric',
        ]);

Hope this helps!!
