Can I filter out results from an arrayCollection in Doctrine 2 while using lazy loading? For example,
// users = ArrayCollection with User entities containing an "active" property
$customer->users->filter('active' => TRUE)->first()
It's unclear for me how the filter method is actually used.
Best Answer
Doctrine now has
Criteria
which offers a single API for filtering collections with SQL and in PHP, depending on the context.https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/working-with-associations.html#filtering-collections
Update
This will achieve the result in the accepted answer, without getting everything from the database.
