In your Controller

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

In your View - Display Already Exist Message

@if (count($errors) > 0)
    

        

            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
                
{{ $error }}
            @endforeach
        
    
@endif
