Laravel - 子域本地化

Question

I want to set the localization using subdomains. I've managed to set up subdomain wildcards and it's working fine. However I'd like to set up filters. For example I was thinking of setting up an array of available countries in the config:

<?php

return array(

    'available' => array(
        'uk',
        'fr',
        'de'
    )

);

Then in my routes I need a way of filtering a group. For the moment my code is the following without any filters:

<?php

$homeController = 'MembersController@profile';

if ( ! Sentry::check())
{
    $homeController = 'HomeController@index';
}

Route::group(['domain' => '{locale}.'.Config::get('app.base_address')], function() use ($homeController)
{
    Route::get('/', ['as' => 'home', 'uses' => $homeController]);

    Route::post('users/register', ['as' => 'register', 'uses' => 'UsersController@register']);
    Route::resource('users', 'UsersController');
});

Does anyone have any ideas for filtering the group?

Also if the subdomain isn't valid how can I redirect to something like uk.domainname.com?

Thank you in advance for any help, it's much appreciated.

you could solve this in your routes with a filter, that will be executed first. it checks then for the available subdomains and if it doesn't find it, it redirects to a default subdomain.

Route::filter('subdomain', function()
{
    $subdomain = current(explode('.', Request::url()));
    if (!in_array($subdomain, Config::get('app.countries.available'))) {
        return Redirect::to(Config::get('app.default_subdomain') . '.' . Config::get('app.base_address'));
    }
});

Route::group(['before' => 'subdomain'], function()
{
    ...
}
