use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException;

class StoreUserRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**

Create Routes:

Route::get('user/create', 'HomeController@create');
Route::post('user/create', 'HomeController@store');

Create controller

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests\StoreUserRequest;
use App\User;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('createUser');
    }

    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(StoreUserRequest $request)
    {
        $input = $request->all();
        $input['password'] = bcrypt($input['password']);
        $user = User::create($input);

        return response()->json(['message' => 'User created successfully']);
    }
}
