How validate unique email out of the user that is updating it in Laravel?

Is unique validation in laravel?

Laravel includes a wide variety of convenient validation rules that you may apply to data, even providing the ability to validate if values are unique in a given database table.

How can I check if an email address is valid in PHP?

The easiest and safest way to check whether an email address is well-formed is to use PHP's filter_var() function.

You can tell that to validators:

'email' => 'unique:users,email_address,'.$user->id

Check the docs, in section 'Forcing A Unique Rule To Ignore A Given ID'.
