Doctrine: Counting an entity's items with a condition

Question

How can I count an entity\'s items with a condition in Doctrine? For example, I realize that I can use:

$usersCount = $dm->getRepository(\'User\')->count()         


        

Answer 1

Since doctrine 2.6 you can just count the result of the provided conditions when you don't really need the data:

$usersCount = $dm->getRepository('User')->count(array('type' => 'employee'));

Upgrade to 2.6
