Answer 1

You can't, it's not supported, the column definition syntax is:

fieldName:fieldType?[length]:indexType:indexName

If you want to specify a default, then you need to add that to the migration file manually using the default option of the addColumn() method, like:

$table->addColumn('name', 'string', [
    'default' => 'default value',
    // ...
]);
