How to set the `DateTimeInterface` default value-CodePudding

I have this DateTimeInterface and I want to set the default value in Symfony6

#[ORM\Column(type: Types::DATETIME_MUTABLE)]
private ?\DateTimeInterface $updatedAt = new \DateTimeMutable('now');

However this says New expressions are not supported in this context

How can set the default value for this?

CodePudding user response：

You can use default value in constructor

public function __construct(\DateTimeInterface date = new DateTime("now")) {
  $this->updatedAt = date;
}

Have a great day !
