12.5. Passing Options into Your Plugin

12.5.1. Problem

Your first plugin adds a method to jQuery. However, there are a few options that would be helpful to others if they were exposed properly. What is the best method of passing options into a custom method?

12.5.2. Solution

Options are best passed into your custom plugin method via an options object. Using a single options object to pass in parameters promotes cleaner code, is easier to work with, and provides flexibility down the road.
