    use ValidatorTrait;

    /**
     * Boot method.
     */
    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        // Add this method for validating the current model on model saving event
        static::validateOnSaving();
    }

    public $validationRules = [
        'name' => 'required|max:10',
        'email' => 'required|email',
    ];

    public $validationMessages = [
        'name.required' => 'Name field is required.',
        'email.email' => 'The given email is in invalid format.',
    ];

    public $validationAttributes = [
        'name' => 'User Name'
    ];

    /**
     * Code to be executed before the validation goes here.
     */
    public function beforeValidation()
    {
        // Some code goes here..
    }

    /**
     * Code to be executed after the validation goes here.
     */
    public function afterValidation()
    {
        // Some code goes here..
    }
}

Other options

You could mention the validation rules, attributes and messages as a property as well as method.

    /**
     * Validation rules to validate.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function validationRules()
    {
        // You can process your code here and return the rules as however you want.
        return [
            'name' => 'required|max:10',
            'email' => 'required|email',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * Custom messages to replace the validation messages.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function validationMessages()
    {
        // You can process your code here and return the messages as however you want.
        return [
            'name.required' => 'Name field is required.',
            'email.email' => 'The given email is in invalid format.',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * Custom attribute names to replace the validation attribute name.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function validationAttributes()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'User Name'
        ];
    }

You could mention the validation only for creating itself or on any model event just add $model->validate().

    /**
     * Boot method.
     */
    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        // You can mention like this for validating the model on custom events as your wish
        self::creating(function($model){
            $model->validate();
        });

        // Or you can make use of the alias `self::validateOnCreating()`.
    }
