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.
The Boris Guéry answer's at this post, may help you:
Doctrine 2, query inside entities
$idsToFilter = array(1,2,3,4);
$member->getComments()->filter(
function($entry) use ($idsToFilter) {
return in_array($entry->getId(), $idsToFilter);
}
);
Doctrine now has Criteria
which offers a single API for filtering collections with SQL and in PHP, depending on the context.
https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/working-with-associations.html#filtering-collections
Update
This will achieve the result in the accepted answer, without getting everything from the database.
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;
/**
* @ORM\Entity
*/
class Member {
// ...
public function getCommentsFiltered($ids) {
$criteria = Criteria::create()->where(Criteria::expr()->in("id", $ids));
return $this->getComments()->matching($criteria);
}
}
Your use case would be :
$ArrayCollectionOfActiveUsers = $customer->users->filter(function($user) {
return $user->getActive() === TRUE;
});
if you add ->first() you'll get only the first entry returned, which is not what you want.

You need to put () around the variable you pass to USE. You can also shorten as in_array return's a boolean already:
$member->getComments()->filter( function($entry) use ($idsToFilter) {
return in_array($entry->getId(), $idsToFilter);
});
The Collection#filter
method really does eager load all members.
Filtering at the SQL level will be added in doctrine 2.3.
