Laravel model not exist attribute detection

I have User model with fields:

id
name
email
password

Why the Laravel does not return an error during the request for a non-existent attribute. How to return an error when a non-existent attribute is requested?

Code:

$user = User::findOrFail(1);

echo $user->name; // This attribute exist in out table and we can continue...
echo $user->location; // Attribute `location` doesn't defined and we can't continue!!!

you can override __get method in model like below code :

public function __get($key)
{
    if (!array_key_exists($key, $this->attributes))
        throw new \Exception("{$key attribute does not defined !!! }", 1);

    return $this->getAttribute($key);
}

You can override your model getAttributeValue method like below:

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    ...

    public function getAttributeValue($key)
    {
        $value = parent::getAttributeValue($key);
        if ($value) {
            return $value;
        }
        throw new \Exception("Attribute Does Not Exists!");
    }

   ...
}
