title: laravel validation, what does it return if validation passes?
body: <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>
