Get groups values by partial group name or regex pattern and optional settings class member

[lanea07]

This is an example of a permissions set I'm trying to store in the app:

return new class extends SettingsMigration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        {...}

        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::customers.display_name', 'Clientes');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::customers.required_permission', 'viewAny_customer');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::customers.action', 'customer');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::customers.icon1', 'pi-address-book');

        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::dump-reasons.display_name', 'Motivos de Abandono');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::dump-reasons.required_permission', 'viewAny_dump_reason');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::dump-reasons.action', 'dump-reason');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::dump-reasons.icon1', 'pi-delete-left');

        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::permission_roles.display_name', 'Permisos <-> Roles');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::permission_roles.required_permission', 'viewAny_permission');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::permission_roles.action', 'permission-role');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::permission_roles.icon1', 'pi-file-check');
        $this->migrator->add('Admin::Sidebar::Items::permission_roles.icon2', 'pi-sliders-h');

        {...}
    }
};

Then, in the AdminSitebarItems class I'd like to get all the Admin::Sidebar::Items* items despite the last part:

class AdminSidebarItems extends Settings
{

    public string $display_name;
    public string $required_permission;
    public string $action;
    public string $icon1;
    public ?string $icon2;

    public static function group(): string
    {
        return 'Admin::Sidebar::Items::*';
    }
}

But this approach fails because of two reasons:

1. It looks like the group doesn't accept wildcards, and
2. Altough the $icon2 property is marked as nullable, even if the group exists in database, many settings would fail because they only have icon1 and 2nd icon2 is optional but the package is still requiring it.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Ok, I've solved the last part of the nullable $icon2 value by passing null as the second parameter of the $this->migrator->add method. But I'm still stuck on using regular expressions for getting similar settings by its group name.

Well, I guess I answered myself all the questions. Finally (and I didn't know values field where JSON type) I found a way to keep a single group and create all value names and payload together:

return new class extends SettingsMigration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        {...}

        $this->migrator->inGroup('Admin::Sidebar::Items', function (SettingsBlueprint $blueprint) {

            $blueprint->add('customers', [
                'module_name' => 'customers',
                'display_name' => 'Clientes',
                'required_permission' => 'viewAny_customer',
                'action' => 'customer',
                'icon1' => 'pi-address-book',
            ]);
            $blueprint->add('dump_reason', [
                'module_name' => 'dump_reason',
                'display_name' => 'Motivos de Abandono',
                'required_permission' => 'viewAny_dump_reason',
                'action' => 'dump-reason',
                'icon1' => 'pi-delete-left',
            ]);
            $blueprint->add('permission_roles', [
                'module_name' => 'permission_roles',
                'display_name' => 'Permisos <-> Roles',
                'required_permission' => 'viewAny_permission',
                'action' => 'permission-role',
                'icon1' => 'pi-file-check',
                'icon2' => 'pi-sliders-h',
            ]);

        {...}
    }
};

And then in the settings class I can use all the names as properties, since settings are static it doesn't matter (by now) that these are burnt into the class:

class AdminSidebarItems extends Settings
{

    public array $customers;
    public array $dump_reason;
    public array $modules;
    public array $exhibit_screens;
    public array $service_screens;
    public array $break_reasons;
    public array $permissions;
    public array $permission_roles;
    public array $policies;
    public array $roles;
    public array $services;
    public array $users;
    public array $zones;

    public static function group(): string
    {
        return 'Admin::Sidebar::Items';
    }
}
