use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    public function index()
    {
        return view('change-password');
    }

    public function changePassword(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'current_password' => ['required','string','min:8'],
            'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed']
        ]);

        $currentPasswordStatus = Hash::check($request->current_password, auth()->user()->password);

        }else{

            return redirect()->back()->with('message','Current Password does not match with Old Password');

                @if (session('message'))
                    <h5 class="alert alert-success mb-2">{{ session('message') }}</h5>
                @endif

                @if ($errors->any())
                <ul class="alert alert-danger">
                    @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
                    <li class="text-danger">{{ $error }}</li>
                    @endforeach
                </ul>
                @endif

                <div class="card shadow">

                            @csrf
                            <div class="mb-3">
                                <label>Current Password</label>
                                <input type="password" name="current_password" class="form-control" />
                            </div>
                            <div class="mb-3">

                                <input type="password" name="password" class="form-control" />
