Symfony – How to create entity with a form and DTO

I want to create entity with symfony form and DTO. I tried to do DTO and form like I’ve seen on symfonycast. But there’s something wrong and I can’t figure it out.

After sending json file via postman I get an error:

Typed property AppFormModelCreateFacilityDTO::$pitchTypes must not be accessed before initialization (500 Internal Server Error)

postman body:

{
"name": "legia",
"pitchTypes": ["basketball"],
"address": "kosynierów"
}

Can You tell me what I’m doing wrong?

<?php

namespace AppController;

use AppEntityFacility;
use AppFormCreateFacilityFormType;
use AppFormModelCreateFacilityDTO;
use DoctrineORMEntityManagerInterface;
use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleControllerAbstractController;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationRequest;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationResponse;
use SymfonyComponentRoutingAnnotationRoute;


/**
 * @method saveEntities(array $array)
 */
class CreateFacilityAction extends AbstractController
{
    /**
     * @Route("/api/create/facility", name="create_facility")
     * @param Request $request
     * @return Response
     */
    public function __invoke(Request $request, EntityManagerInterface $em)
    {
        $form = $this->createForm(CreateFacilityFormType::class);
        $data = json_decode($request->getContent(), true);
        $form->submit($data);
//        if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
            /** @var CreateFacilityDTO $facilityDto */
            $facilityDto = $form->getData();
            $createFacility = new Facility($facilityDto->name, $facilityDto->pitchTypes,
                $facilityDto->address);

            $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
            $em->persist($createFacility);
            $em->flush();
//            return new Response($data, 201);
//        }
        return new Response($createFacility, 201);

    }
}

<?php

namespace AppForm;

use AppFormModelCreateFacilityDTO;
use SymfonyComponentFormAbstractType;
use SymfonyComponentFormFormBuilderInterface;
use SymfonyComponentOptionsResolverOptionsResolver;

class CreateFacilityFormType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('name')
            ->add('pitchTypes')
            ->add('address');
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults([
            'data_class' => CreateFacilityDTO::class,
        ]);
    }
}

<?php


namespace AppFormModel;


 class CreateFacilityDTO
{
    public string $name;

    public array $pitchTypes;

    public string $address;
}
