How can I validate data in Laravel using Eloquent?

You can use Laravel's built-in validation features along with Eloquent models. For example, you can define validation rules in your model's rules method.

Can you show me an example of how to set up validation rules?

Sure! In your Eloquent model, you can create a method like this:

public static function rules()
{
    return [
        'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
        'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
    ];
}

How do I apply these rules when saving a model?

You can use the validate method in your controller before saving the model. For example:

$request->validate(User::rules());
$user = User::create($request->all());
