Symfony $this->getUser() without doctrine associations (OneToMany) - php

Question

In Symfony, we can get current logged-in user data using $this->getUser(), but my problem is when I access this statement, I am getting all the user-associated data set. which has OneToMany relationships with another entity, and it has a lot of data.
Example:
User Entity
`
class User implements UserInterface
{
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=10)
*
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Column(type="string")
*/
protected $email;
/**
* #var array
* #ORM\Column(type="json")
*/
protected $roles;
/**
* One User has Many Posts.
* #ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="App\Entity\Post", mappedBy="user", fetch="LAZY")
*
*
*/
private Collection $posts;
`
Post Entity
`
class Post
{
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
* #ORM\Column(type="integer", length=11)
*/
private $id;
/**
* Many posts have one user.
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="App\Entity\User", inversedBy="post", fetch="EXTRA_LAZY")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="userId", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
private $user;
`
I am looking to get rid of the user-associated data set or limit the associated data set to limit 1.
Thank you for the help in advance. :)

found solution after hours of search.
You will be required to add Symfony Serializer #Ignore attribute on the Entity class.
Example
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Ignore;
class User implements UserInterface
{
/**
* #var string
*
*/
#[ORM\Id]
#[ORM\Column(type: 'string', length: 10)]
protected $id;
/**
* #var string
*/
#[ORM\Column(type: 'string')]
protected $email;
/**
* #var array
*/
#[ORM\Column(type: 'json')]
protected $roles;
/**
* #var Post
*/
#[ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity: 'App\Entity\Post', mappedBy: 'user', fetch: 'LAZY')]
#[Ignore]
private Collection $posts;
I hope this help someone. Cheers!
