What's the best way to get options Active Storage variant from db?

Question

I need to get a options ( for example, resize_to_limit: [300, 222], kuwahara: '3%' ) of variant Active Storage (Ruby on Rails 6.1) from the db. My decision:

app/admin/slideshow.rb

form do |f|
  f.inputs 'Slideshow' do
  f.input :name
  f.input :options,
          input_html: { value: f.object.options || "{ resize_to_limit: [300, 222], kuwahara: '3%' }" },
          label: 'Options. For example: { resize_to_limit: [300, 222], monochrome: true }'
  f.input :images, as: :file, input_html: { multiple: true }
  end
  f.actions
end

app/controllers/slideshow_controllers.rb

  def options
   @options = proc {
   $SAFE = 1
   eval(Slideshow.take.options) if slideshow
}.call
  end

  def slideshow
   Slideshow.published.take
  end

index.html.erb

<% if slideshow_present? %>
    <% @slideshow.images.each do |x| %>
        <a href="<%= path_to_file(x) %>" data-lightbox="photo" class="col-sm-4">
        <%= image_tag x.variant(@options),
                :class => "img-fluid" %>
        </a>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

app/helpers/slideshows_helper.rb

  def path_to_file(x)
   Rails.application.routes.url_helpers.rails_blob_path(x, only_path: true)
  end

But I think using eval is not the best way to go. Perhaps you can recommend the best solution for me?

P.S. Is it advisable to use Ruby safe levels?

It's very simple...

app/admin/slideshow.rb

  form do |f|
    f.inputs 'Slideshow' do
      f.input :name
      f.input :options,
              input_html: { value: f.object.options || '{ "resize_to_limit": [300, 222], "kuwahara": "3%", "quality": 15 }' },
              label: 'Options. For example: { "resize_to_limit": [300, 222], "monochrome": true }'
      f.input :images, as: :file, input_html: { multiple: true }
    end
    f.actions
  end

app/controllers/slideshow_controllers.rb

  def options
    #     @options = proc {
    #       $SAFE = 1
    #       eval(Slideshow.take.options) if slideshow
    #     }.call
    @options = JSON.parse(Slideshow.take.options) if slideshow
  end
