Quick Answer
Pass plugin options by merging user options with defaults: var settings = $.extend({speed: 400, color: "red"}, userOptions); This deep-merges, with user values overriding defaults. For nested options, use $.extend(true, {}, defaults, userOptions) for a deep merge. Store the final settings in .data() on the element so methods can access them later.
Answer
Pass options using an object. Merge defaults and user options with $.extend({}, defaults, options). Provides flexibility and customization.
