Laravel use @ function inside another @ function in View

Question

i want to use a function (@lang) inside another function (@sortablelink).

@lang: changed localisation depending on previous user input @sortablelink: kysliks sortable columns ( https://github.com/Kyslik/column-sortable )

Like this:

@foreach($COLUMNS_TASK as $column => $val)
         <div class="th">
              <a href=""><p class="justify-content-center text-center">@sortablelink($val, @lang('lang.'.$val))</p></a>
         </div>
@endforeach

When i run this code, i am getting this error: Error Call to undefined function lang()

But when i write it like this:

@foreach($COLUMNS_TASK as $column => $val)
         <div class="th">
              <a href=""><p class="justify-content-center text-center">@sortablelink($val)@lang('lang.'.$val)</p></a>
         </div>
@endforeach

It's working, but it only displays the results of the functions side by side, and it looks like this:

Is it possible to use a function inside another function like this? Or is there another solution here i am not seeing?

Thanks in advance and have a great day.

You can call the translator to get the value you want and if you want to pass it as the second parameter to that @sortablelink directive you can:

@sortablelink($val, __($val))

// some ways to call the translator to get a translation
__($val)
trans($val)
Lang::get($val)
app('translator')->get($val)

The @lang directive would be calling the translator and echoing the result.
