Hello, I am new to the Laravel world, and I am confused about how to write tests for my validation rules.
What is the correct way to test them?
1 - in a unitary manner and mock rules that use the database? If so, is there documentation that provides examples for these cases?
2 - should I use an integration test with a database and make a request? This option seems simpler, as we would be testing what we want, but we wouldn't have coverage in a unitary way.

I typically test my validation via feature tests (http tests, see https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/http-tests
From there, you can use phpunits data provders to make your life much easier to shunt many values to one test case, saving alot of setup. See:
https://docs.phpunit.de/en/10.0/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html#data-providers
