How to set default value for form field in Symfony2?

Question

Is there an easy way to set a default value for text form field?

Answer 1

Default values are set by configuring corresponding entity. Before binding the entity to form set its color field to "#0000FF":

// controller action
$project = new Project();
$project->setColor('#0000FF');
$form = $this->createForm(new ProjectType(), $project);
