Search for specific country in specific language #6

Hi,

How can I search for a specific country in a specific language.

Something like this

Countries::lookup(Lang::locale(), 'PT')

Should give the fallowing Output:

Portugal

I can find this method on the documentation, there is any method to do this? It would be really useful...

Thanks, Miguel Ferreira

I like your use of Lang::locale() - I hadn't thought of that.

Since the lookup method returns a Laravel collection, this should give you what you're looking for:

Countries::lookup(Lang::locale())->get('PT')

As an aside if you were planing to use more than one country from the collection, you could assign it to a local variable and then simply subscript it as shown below:

$lookup = Countries::lookup(Lang::locale());
echo $lookup['PT'];
echo $lookup['ES'];

I guess you could subscript the initial lookup method too, Countries::lookup(Lang::locale())['PT'], but that's a bit ugly :).
