Getting validation to work for address in laravel - laravel

Question

I'm making a page that before the user submits they need to add their address.
For example: The user goes to the order confirmation and they forget to add their address and they fill in the rest of the page (the page has delivery/collection radio buttons and payment option radio buttons) when the user clicks on the confirm button the page needs to go back and give an error that the address wasn't entered.
The address portion of the page only has a "Add Address" button that takes the user to a form to enter their address.
Is there a way to do this. I thought maybe validation would work but I don't think I'm doing it correctly in this instance.
I have a hidden form that grabs some info and it has an address field in it so that it gets passed into the controller so that I can save it, but it's like it doesn't pick it up

$delivery = getDeliveryFee();

Answer 1

basically on the paymentGateway controller you need to check whether the address is provided if not redirect to the previous page where address is selected and saved in db
