how to limit google autocomplete places to N countries?

Question

I know it is possible to restrict place to 1 country:

componentRestrictions: {country: "fr"}

But is there a way to restrict to N countries like ["fr", "be"] ?

Answer 1

componentRestrictions can actually handle up to 5 countries, simply attach the country codes, to an array with 5 Elements.

    { country: ["ch","at","fr","gr","mx"] }

Google itself says: "-componentRestrictions can be used to restrict results to specific groups. Currently, you can use componentRestrictions to filter by up to 5 countries. Countries must be passed as as a two-character, ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 compatible country code. Multiple countries must be passed as a list of country codes."
