Answer 1

Check if user is logged in before getting user model:

       if(Auth::check()){
           $user = Auth::user();
           $user_id = $user->id;
       }
       else{
           return redirect('login');
       }

You can check user logged in or not before using that like

if ( Auth::check() ) {
    $user = Auth::user();
    $user_id = $user->id;
}else{
    return redirect('login');
}
