Proposal: Support for default attribute in yaml mappings.

[benlumley]

There's probably a very good reason you don't already do this... please let me know if there is!

The EntityGenerator supports writing a default value for a property/column when generating a class, but the yaml driver doesn't pick this up. This tiny change makes it work - you can do something like:

Acme\MyBundle\Entity\MyObject:
  type: entity
  table: my_object
  fields:
    active:
      type: boolean
      default: true

and you end up with..

/**
 * @var boolean $active
 */
private $active = true;

Similar change would also work for the other drivers I guess.

This should be implemented in XML too

@guilhermeblanco this also affects the SQL generation using the default value, we explictily removed this :-)

[benlumley]

So will the change that's been merged be generating SQL with the default values? From the docs I can see you've decided against default values in SQL, which makes sense. I only wanted a way to get the defaults into the generated entity classes - which, to me at least, is very useful!

[beberlei]

I agree, but for 2.3 we will probably get a completly new entity generator anyways, one that is actually extendable and such :)

So is there a chance to determine the default value? Thanks!
