  $messages = [
    'current-password.required' => 'Please enter current password',
    'password.required' => 'Please enter password',
  ];

  $validator = Validator::make($data, [
    'current-password' => 'required',

  ], $messages);

  return $validator;
}

use Validator;

public function postCredentials(Request $request)
{
  if(Auth::Check())
  {
    $request_data = $request->All();
    $validator = $this->admin_credential_rules($request_data);
    if($validator->fails())
    {
      return response()->json(array('error' => $validator->getMessageBag()->toArray()), 400);
    }
    else
    {  
      $current_password = Auth::User()->password;           
      if(Hash::check($request_data['current-password'], $current_password))
      {           
        $user_id = Auth::User()->id;                       
        $obj_user = User::find($user_id);
        $obj_user->password = Hash::make($request_data['password']);
        $obj_user->save(); 
        return "ok";
      }
      else
      {           
        $error = array('current-password' => 'Please enter correct current password');
        return response()->json(array('error' => $error), 400);   
      }
    }        
  }
  else
  {
    return redirect()->to('/');
  }    
}
