Answer 1

You can use the Criteria API to filter the collection:

where(Criteria::expr()->eq('approved', true));
        }
        return $this->comments->matching($criteria);
    }

}

This is especially nice, because Doctrine is smart enough to only go to the database if the collection hasn't already been loaded.
