How do I validate user registration in Laravel?

In Laravel, you can validate user registration by using the built-in validation features. You typically define validation rules in the controller method that handles the registration.

What are some common validation rules I can use?

Common validation rules include 'required', 'email', 'min', 'max', and 'unique'. For example, you can ensure the email is unique in the users table.

Can you show me an example of how to implement this?

Sure! In your controller, you can use the validate method like this:

$request->validate([
    'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
    'email' => 'required|string|email|max:255|unique:users',
    'password' => 'required|string|min:8|confirmed',
]);

What happens if validation fails?

If validation fails, Laravel will automatically redirect the user back to the registration form with error messages.
