• controller
• request
• registered the route in the routes
• updated the view with the new icon

# STEP 2. Alter requests file

Open TagRequest.php located in app/Http/Requests folder

Edit the rules method by adding extra validations.

 /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|min:5|max:255',
            'slug' => 'required|min:5|max:255'
        ];
    }

In our case we are adding a requirement for name and slug to be mandatory.

Well, we are ready. It is that easy.
