Not sure if this is possible but im trying to run array_unique over a collection of items i have, to remove duplicates. Although i cannot get it working.
my controller logic:
    // init models
    $jobs = Job::search();
    $countries = $jobs->get()->map(function( $job ) {
        return $job->country;
    });
    $countries = array_unique( $countries->toArray() );
although this gets a "Array to string conversion" error
