The DataType form and those who inherit from it (TabbedDataType) allows you to automatically generate forms to manipulate entities inside the model.
<?php
use Sidus\EAVModelBundle\Form\Type\DataType;
/** @var \Symfony\Component\Form\FormFactoryInterface $formFactory */
$form = $formFactory->create(DataType::class, null, [
'family' => 'Post',
]);
The only required option is the family

attributes_config
This option is a little complicated and requires a whole chapter:
