Extract Options From Args

• Tweet
• 

        If we need a method with  an arbitrary number of parameters (:arg1, :arg2…) followed by a list of keyword/value options we can use the ActiveSupport method #extract_options! to find the optinons. 

def my_method(*args)
  options = args.extract_options!
  puts "Arguments:  #{args.inspect}"
  puts "Options:    #{options.inspect}"
end
