Laravel automatically handles validation errors by redirecting the user back to the previous page with the errors in the session. However, you can customize this behavior in the `render()` method of `app/Exceptions/Handler.php`. You can check if the exception is a `ValidationException` and then customize the error response, perhaps returning a JSON response with the validation errors instead of a redirect, depending on the request type (e.g., an API request).
