How to use optparse to have a flags argument require another argument - ruby

Question

I have a tool that I'm updating and need to have an argument require another argument, for example:
require 'optparse'
OPTIONS = {}
OptionParser.new do |opts|
opts.on('-t', '--type INPUT', String, 'Verify a type'){ |o| OPTIONS[:type] = o }
end.parse!
def help_page
puts 'ruby test.rb -t dev'
end
def gather_type
case OPTIONS[:type]
when /dev/
unlock(OPTIONS[:type])
else
help_page
end
end
def unlock(type)
if type == 'unlock' #Find out what type by passing argument another argument
puts 'Unlock account'
else
puts 'Reset account'
end
end
def start
case
when OPTIONS[:type]
gather_type
else
help_page
end
end
start
When this is run you get the following:
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev=unlock
Reset account
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev=reset
Reset account
Now that's all well and dandy but what I want to do is give the dev part an argument and go from there to decide if it's an unlock or if it's a reset:
ruby test.rb -t dev=unlock OR ruby test.rb -t dev=reset
After that I want the unlock(type) method to determine what argument was given to the flags argument and output the correct information, so
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev=unlock
Unlock account
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev=reset
Reset account
How can I go about to determine if an argument was given to the argument of the flag?

Answer 1

I figured out that if you put an options in parenthesis you can get what I'm asking:
require 'optparse'
OPTIONS = {}
OptionParser.new do |opts|
opts.on('-t', '--type INPUT[=INPUT]', String, 'Verify a type'){ |o| OPTIONS[:type] = o }
end.parse!
def help_page
puts 'ruby test.rb -t dev'
end
def gather_type
case OPTIONS[:type]
when /dev/
unlock(OPTIONS[:type])
else
help_page
end
end
def unlock(type)
if type =~ /unlock/ #Find out what type by passing argument another argument
puts 'Unlock account'
elsif type =~ /reset/
puts 'Reset account'
else
puts 'No flag given defaulting to unlock'
end
end
def start
case
when OPTIONS[:type]
gather_type
else
help_page
end
end
start
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev
No flag given defaulting to unlock
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev=unlock
Unlock account
C:\Users\bin\ruby>ruby test.rb -t dev=reset
Reset account
