request is redirected and if there is no pre set or submitted data. Otherwise
the choice options would need to be resolved thus triggering the callback.

If the ``CallbackChoiceLoader`` doesn't fit your needs and you want to create
your own loader, you can either create a loader by implementing the
:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\ChoiceList\\Loader\\ChoiceLoaderInterface`
or by extending the
:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\ChoiceList\\Loader\\AbstractChoiceLoader`.
This abstract class allows to save some boilerplate by implementing some
of the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\ChoiceList\\Loader\\ChoiceLoaderInterface`
methods. Thus, you'll only have to implement the
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\ChoiceList\\Loader\\AbstractChoiceLoader::loadChoices`
method to have a fully functional choice loader.

.. versionadded:: 5.1

The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\ChoiceList\\Loader\\AbstractChoiceLoader`
class was introduced in Symfony 5.1.

When you're defining a custom choice type that may be reused in many fields
(like entries of a collection) or reused in multiple forms at once, you
should use the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\ChoiceList\\ChoiceList`
