namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;


class HomeController extends Controller
{
    //
    public function index(Request  $request){

        $validator = Validator::make([
            'phone_number' => 'required|numeric|digits:10',
        ]);

        if ($validator->fails()) {
            // if validation fails run this
        } else {
            // if validation pass run this
        }

    }

}
