Kdyby/DoctrineCollectionsReadonly

This package provides an implementation of a readonly collection wrapper, so you can return collections from your entities, without having to copy the contents of the collection, or exposing the object's state outside of it's control.

Installation

The best way to install Kdyby/DoctrineCollectionsReadonly is using Composer:

$ composer require kdyby/doctrine-collections-readonly

Usage

Simply wrap your collection and return it.

public function getComments() : Collection
{
	return new ReadOnlyCollectionWrapper($this->comments);
}

Now you can use the Collection api as you're used to, you just cannot modifying it :)
