So I have this code:

class Door

    # ...

    def info attr = ""

        return {

            "width" => @width,
            "height" => @height,
            "color" => @color

        }[attr] if attr != ""

    end

end

mydoor = Door.new(100, 100, "red")

puts mydoor.info("width")

puts mydoor.info

The method "info" should return the hash if no argument is provided, otherwise the value of the argument in the hash. How can I achieve that?
