What is the difference between fetch=”EAGER” and fetch=”LAZY” in doctrine

by

To explain it simply, when you are loading an entity and if it has an association with one or more entities, what should doctrine do?

If the association is marked as EAGER, it will fetch and load the associated entity as well.

If the association is marked as LAZY, doctrine will create proxy objects (dummy objects) in place of the actual entity. Only when you make the first call to that associated entity (like $cart->getItems()), doctrine will fetch and load that object(s) from database. (This is the default Behaviour)
