Passing attribute to definition's template in Chef

I've installed apache2 on my virtual server using the community apache2 cookbook. Then I wanted to create virtual host and I followed these steps. In a nutshell I have a small cookbook, with recipe like this:

include_recipe "apache2"

web_app "my-site" do
  server_name "my-site.localhost"
  server_aliases ["www.my-site.localhost"]
  docroot "/vagrant"
end

and a template templates/default/web_app.conf.erb containing virtual host settings. The template contains a lot of @params[:something] variables. I would like to set the variable @params[:directory_options] to Indexes to allow file listing. How can I do that? I tried keys like params or adding something to attributes, but nothing has worked.

All you have to do is use the parameter's name. The same way you set up docroot you can set the other varibles:

web_app 'vagrant' do
  server_name 'v.l'
  server_aliases ['www.v.l']
  docroot '/var/www/'
  directory_options 'FollowSymLinks Indexes'
end
