By default, Laravel validation errors will be returned in a list, checking all validation rules. But if you want the process to stop after the first error, use validation rule called bail:
$request->validate([ 'title' => 'bail|required|unique:posts|max:255', 'body' => 'required',]);
If you need to stop validation on the first error in FormRequest class, you can set stopOnFirstFailure property to true:
protected $stopOnFirstFailure = true;
