acf_register_block_type via array loop

Hi,

I’m trying to automate the block build process so we only have to make a file in the /block/ directory. It loops the files, gets the variables from the first comment en puts it in the acf_register_block_type(). However it gives an error (translated from dutch): WP_Block_Type_Registry::register is’nt called correctly. Bloktypenames must contain a namespace before the name . E.g.my-plugin/my-custom-block.

My code:

functions.php

<?php 
/**
* GUTENBERG INITIALISATION
*/
add_action('acf/init', 'my_guten_acf_init');
function my_guten_acf_init() {

  // check function exists
  if( function_exists('acf_register_block') ) {

    // register a testimonial block
    $blockdir = get_theme_file_path('/template-parts/block/');
    if(is_dir($blockdir)) {
      $dir = new DirectoryIterator($blockdir);
      foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {

        if (!$fileinfo->isDot()) {
            $filedoc = getFileDocBlock($fileinfo->getPathname());

            $pattern = "#(@[a-zA-Z]+\s*[a-zA-Z0-9, ()_].*)#";
            $arr=array('name'=>'test');
            preg_match_all($pattern, $filedoc, $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
            foreach($matches[0] as $value) {
              $output=array();
              $value = substr($value,1);
              parse_str($value, $output);

              $arr[key($output)] = $output[key($output)];
            }

          acf_register_block_type(array(
          'name' => ''.strval($arr['name']).'',
          'title' => $arr['title'],
          'description' => $arr['description'],
          'render_callback' => 'my_guten_acf_block_render_callback',
          //'render_template' => 'template-parts/blocks/testimonial/testimonial.php',
          'category' => 'my-blokken',
          'icon' => 'admin-comments',
          'keywords' => explode(',',$arr['tags']),
          'supports' => array(
          'align' => false,
          )
          ));
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

function my_guten_acf_block_render_callback( $block ) {
  // convert name ("acf/testimonial") into path friendly slug ("testimonial")
  $slug = str_replace('acf/', '', $block['name']);

  // include a template part from within the "template-parts/block" folder
  if( file_exists( get_theme_file_path("/template-parts/block/content-{$slug}.php") ) ) {
    include( get_theme_file_path("/template-parts/block/content-{$slug}.php") );
  }
}

function my_guten_plugin_block_categories( $categories, $post ) {
  //to show other blocks, uncomment $categories
  return array_merge(
    //$categories,
    array(
      array(
        'slug' => 'my-blokken',
        'title' => __( 'My custom blokken', 'my-plugin' ),
        'icon' => 'wordpress',
      ),
    )
  );
}
add_filter( 'block_categories', 'my_guten_plugin_block_categories', 10, 2 );

function getFileDocBlock($file){
  $docComments = array_filter(
    token_get_all( file_get_contents( $file ) ), function($entry) {
      return $entry[0] == T_DOC_COMMENT;
    }
  );
  $fileDocComment = array_shift( $docComments );
  return $fileDocComment[1];
}

in /block/content-{name}.php i have the following comment:

<?php
/**
* Block Name: Header voorpagina
* @name=headervoorpagina
* @title=Header voorpagina
* @tags=header,voorpagina
* @description=de beschrijving
*/ ?>

Is it even possible to get the blocks registered trough a loop?

We would be interested in this concept too.
