Answer 1

or what you could do in your Form Request is (for Laravel 5.3+)

public function rules()
    {
        return [

            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$this->user, //here user is users/{user} from resource's route url
               ];
    }

i've done it in Laravel 5.6 and it worked.
