dynamically add jquery ajax options

Question

I have some couchdb queries, for which I'm using the jquery-couchdb plugin. I'd like to compile a set of queries with which I can decide at call-time what options to set. E.g.

$db.view("design/view", {
    success: function(data) {
        // do something e.g.:
        callback_function(data);
        },
    option1: value1,
    option2: value2
    // What if I want an option3 to be set only some of the time?
});

Is there a way to achieve this? Something like running over kwargs in python, or a way to pass in an object with keys and values?

Cheers, Matt

Like this?

var params = {};
params.success = function(data) {
    // do something e.g.:
    callback_function(data);
    };
if (setOpt1) params.option1 = value1;
if (setOpt2) params.option2 = value2;
$db.view("design/view", params);

Yup, that's done it! Examples always seem to show specific queries, it looks to me that using something based on this would improve brevity!
