How to validate a form request

Question

Is there anything with craft like Laravel's Form Requests?

I am writing a plugin with a custom entry type. Right now, I am doing the store/edit pages and I do not want to reinvent the wheel ;)

Is there any way in craft/yii to easily validate the submitted values from a post request? Or what is the best practice in this case for craft?

Yii 2 (which is what Craft 3 is built upon) has similar looking form/model validation:

You can also look at how Craft does it in its own models and controllers.
