Lazy Collections

To create a lazy collection you can extend the Doctrine\Common\Collections\AbstractLazyCollection class and define the doInitialize method. Here is an example where we lazily query the database for a collection of user records:

1use Doctrine\DBAL\Connection;

class UsersLazyCollection extends AbstractLazyCollection
{
    /** @var Connection */
    private $connection;

    public function __construct(Connection $connection)
    {
        $this->connection = $connection;
    }

    protected function doInitialize() : void
    {
        $this->collection = $this->connection->fetchAll('SELECT * FROM users');
    }
}
