This method should do exactly what you need. Where are you dumping the code?

prepareForValidation method not working
Hi I want my slug input sanitized before applying validation rules but when I use prepareForValidation method and die & dump my form request data, I have non-sanitized data again! What I missing here?
Here is what I tried in my controller :
/**
* Prepare the data for validation.
*
* @return void
*/
protected function prepareForValidation()
{
$this->merge([
'slug' => Str::slug($this->slug),
]);
}

At store or update method before writing any code.

You will only see the effect of this AFTER validation. Is that where you are looking?

Your function needs to live within a FormRequest class, but you mention your controller

No, I want to apply Str::slug($this->slug) to request's slug input and then in validation check unique:table validation rule.

So, whats your point? Did you understand my reply?
You can only use this function if you use a FormRequest class
