How to check if Session::has('loggedOn') and call a controller in a view?

I am new to laravel and can't manage to to check whether the user is logged on or not, before accessing page trough URL directly.

I suppose the check should be done in the routes and there is no problem to do so when calling a view from the route:

Route::get('/', function()
    {
    if (!Session::has('loggedOn'))
        {
        return view('viewLogin');
        }
    else
        {
        return view('viewAllData');
        }
    });
    enter code here

But when I want to call a Controller and check if (!Session::has('loggedOn')), how is this done?

Route::get('/messagesPage', 'MsgsController@messages');

the below will see if the user is logged in

add 

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

to your controller and the below to check

if (Auth::check()) {
// The user is logged in...
}

edited to add answer for second question

Route::get('profile', function () {
// Only authenticated users may enter...
})->middleware('auth');

the above will only let a user access the path if they are logged in
