Get current locale value (string or array?)

• [yes] I am on the latest ember-intl version
• [yes] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Environment

• Ember Version: 3.5.0
• Ember CLI Version: 3.5.0
• Ember Intl Version: latest
• Browser(s): chromium v68
• Node Version: 8.11.3

I need the current locale at different instances in my application, to get the current locale I use: this.get('intl').get('locale')

This always returns an array with a single string value, is there a way to just return te value instead of an array with a single element?

My value was set using this.get('intl').setLocale('en')

How do I get a return of “en” instead of [“en”] ?

I was searching the docs when I noticed this:

Locale

Set/get the current locale for your application. The value can either be a String or an Array of Strings.

But couldn’t find more info about when which return is given.

Thanks in advance

@buschtoens With primaryLocale , do you mean the currently Active locale or the primary locale in the locales[].

If it’s the current Active locale, that would be very helpful!

[buschtoens]

Because setLocale accepts an array of locales in order to support fallbacks. This is the reason, why there is no “one” locale. There is only a primary locale and a number of fallback locales.

You could access this.get('intl.locale.firstObject').

We could also think about adding a primaryLocale to the intl service for convenience.
