laravel validation, what does it return if validation passes?
<p>There something I don't understand.
When passing input to the controller I have it validate with laravel, example:</p>

<pre><code>        $this-&gt;validate($request, [
            'user_id' =&gt; 'required',
            'post_id' =&gt; 'required',
            'body' =&gt; 'required'

        ]);
</code></pre>

<p>now the point is, do I have to make a condition before inserting in the DB? and if so how? I mean (pseudo code)</p>

<pre><code>if data is validated { store in DB }
</code></pre>

<p>or will <code>validate</code> get ahold of everything and simply stop if erros are found? </p>
