why can not find a user with that e-mail address?

Question

public function create(Request $request) { 
    $this->validate($request, [ \'email\' => \'required|email\', ]);
    $user          


        

Answer 1

simply use the exists method of validation

public function create(Request $request) { 

       $validatedData = $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email|exists:user,email',
       ]);

}
