parse(key, value)public
This parse quick options given as method_options. It makes several assumptions, but you can be more specific using the option method.
parse :foo => "bar" #=> Option foo with default value bar parse [:foo, :baz] => "bar" #=> Option foo with default value bar and alias :baz parse :foo => :required #=> Required option foo without default value parse :foo => 2 #=> Option foo with default value 2 and type numeric parse :foo => :numeric #=> Option foo without default value and type numeric parse :foo => true #=> Option foo with default value true and type boolean
The valid types are :boolean, :numeric, :hash, :array and :string. If none is given a default type is assumed. This default type accepts arguments as string (–foo=value) or booleans (just –foo).
By default all options are optional, unless :required is given.
