What problem does it solve?

Doctrine ORM fetch modes help prevent N+1 queries and optimize how and when related entities are loaded in a Symfony/Doctrine stack.

Core Features & Use Cases

• EAGER: always load essential relations with parent entities to avoid additional queries.
• EXTRA_LAZY: optimize large collections by performing partial operations without loading full collections.
• Query-level fetch hints and join fetching to tailor data loading for specific repository methods.

Quick Start

Configure a repository method to use a fetch mode (e.g., fetch: 'EAGER' or EXTRA_LAZY) to optimize a representative query.
