How to get validated data from Validator instance in Laravel?

Question

I manually created a Validator, but i can't find a method to get the validated data.
For Request, validated data return from $request->validate([...])
For FormRequest, it's return from $formRequest->validated()
But with Validator, i don't see a method like those 2 above.

Assuming that you're using Validator facade:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules, $messages, $attributes);

if ($validator->fails()) {
    return $validator->errors();
}

//If validation passes, return valid fields
return $validator->valid();
