Insert record after Laravel form validation

Question

I'm trying a Laravel 5.8 request validation. I managed to return errors and display them to my view. The problem is when I try to not trigger any validation rule, for whatever reason I cannot insert records into my table.

Error

Too few arguments to function App\Http\Requests\FieldRequest::Illuminate\Foundation\Providers{closure}(), 0 passed and exactly 1 expected

Controller

class FormController extends Controller
{
    public function create()
    {
        return view('create');
    }

    public function store(FieldRequest $req)
    {
        $validate_data = $req->validate();

        Form::create($validate_data);

        return redirect()->back()->with('message', 'Success!');
    }
}

FormRequest

class FieldRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'item_name' => 'bail|required|max:255',
            'sku_no' => 'required|alpha_num',
            'price' => 'required|numeric',
        ];
    }

    public function messages()
    {
        return [
            'item_name.required' => 'An Item Name is required',
            'sku_no.required' => 'An SKU NO is required',
            'price.required' => 'The price is required',
        ];
    }
}

I'm expecting something to be inserted in my table. Do I need to perform the validation in my controller or not to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

    public function store(FieldRequest $req)
    {
          $data = $req->all();           

          Form::create($data);

          return redirect()->back()->with('message', 'Success!');
    }

when you are working with form request you no need to use validate() function because your request goes in form request to validate your data then it will store records
