Getting value of objects from results of symfony2 Doctrine

I try get from database id value from User Entity. 

            $id = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('MyappUserBundle:User')->findByUsername($username);

and i get this:

Array
(
    [0] => MyApp\UserBundle\Entity\User Object
        (
            [id:protected] => 1
            [age:protected] => 22
            [city:protected] => 
            [state:protected] => 
            [sex:protected] => 
            [avatar:protected] => 99small-man-dancing-with-cat.jpg
            [username:protected] => yeps
etc...

I have question:

The "findByUsername" method returns a User object, so in order to get the user id (assuming you already have a "getId" public function in your User entity) you would have to do something like this:

$user = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('MyappUserBundle:User')->findByUsername($username);
$userId = $user->getId();

findByX returns an array where as findOneByX will return a single object.

As you are searching for a specific username it would make more send to use findOneByX and then you can get the id from the return User like..

$user = $this->getDoctrine()
    ->getRepository('MyappUserBundle:User')
    ->findOneByUsername($username)
;

$id = $user->getId();

It would also make sense to add a null check incase no user was found like..

if (null === $user) {
    throw new \Exception(sprintf('User with username "%s" not found', $username));
}

$id = $user->getId();
