Bonus 1

Validate via model

class User extends Precedent {

	/**
	 * Cache enabled
	 *
	 * @type {Boolean}
	 */
	public static $cache = true;

	/**
	 * Validate rules
	 *
	 * @type array
	 */
	public static $rules = array(
		'email' => 'required|unique:users'
	);

$data = array(
	'email' => Input::get('email')
