Passing an options hash to a sidekiq worker : <p>I remember when I tried passing a params (JSON) option to a sidekiq worker method and it didn't work out well because I was referencing the option like:</p>

<pre><code>options[:email_address]
</code></pre>

<p>But I think it would have worked if I did:</p>

<pre><code>options["email_address"]
</code></pre>

<p>So for some reason when it gets serialized and deserialized the hash can only be referenced with a string not a symbol.</p>

<p><strong>Is this a safe practise?</strong></p>

<p>I have a transaction email worker that looks like:</p>

<pre><code>class TransactionEmailWorker
    include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform(action, options)
    case action
    when 'welcome'
      welcome(options["email_address"], options["something_else"])
    when 'reset_password'
      reset_password(options["email_address"])
    end
  end

  def welcome(email, title)
    # ...
  end

  def reset_password(email)
   # ..
  end
</code></pre>
