Validation Errors Not Showing in Blade Template

Hello everyone,

I'm facing an issue where validation errors are not displaying in my Blade template. Below is my code:

login.blade.php

<div class="form-group">
    <div class="input-group input-group-merge">
        <div class="input-icon">
            <span class="ti-mobile"></span>
        </div>
        <input type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control" required placeholder="Enter Your Phone Number">
    </div>
</div>

@error('phone')
       <p class="text-danger"><small>{{ $message }}</small></p>
@enderror

LoginController.php

$request->validate([
    'phone' => 'string|required|exists:api_users,phone',
    'password' => 'string|required|min:8'
], [
    'phone.exists' => 'This phone number doesn\'t match our records',
]);

The validation should trigger an error message when an invalid phone number is entered, but the message is not showing in the Blade view.

I would appreciate any guidance on what might be causing this issue. Thank you!

@lucius123 Can you check whether you get a validation error if fails?

// Your validation 

if ($validator->fails()) {
    return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}

Also, make sure you are using the POST method in the form with the @csrf token.

@tisuchi Thanks for your answer, Sir. I found the issue— I had placed the login function inside the auth-user middleware, which made it work only for authenticated users and not for unauthenticated ones.
