mjmasn:mandrill

This Meteor package wraps the mandrill-api NPM package. As it is a fairly simple wrap of the NPM package, I have only tested the messages.send function but all functions should all work as expected. If you do discover any issues please open a new issue or submit a PR.

Installation

This package is available at https://atmospherejs.com/mjmasn/mandrill. To install use:

meteor add mjmasn:mandrill

Environment Variables

This package requires MANDRILL_API_KEY to be set in your environment variables and will throw an error if it is not set. You can obtain an API key by logging in at https://mandrillapp.com/settings/index and clicking 'New API Key'.

Usage

Usage for this package is slightly different to the NPM package. In plain Node you would do:

Mandrill.messages.send(options, function (result) {
    // Success function
}, function (err) {
    // Error function
});

In Meteor you do:

try {
    var result = Mandrill.messages('send', options);
}
catch (err) {
    // Handle any errors
}

So the basic format is Mandrill.CATEGORY(METHOD, options) where CATEGORY is one of:

users messages tags rejects whitelists senders urls templates webhooks subaccounts inbound exports ips metadata

and METHOD is the method you want to call, for example 'sendTemplate'. See the Mandrill API Documentation for the available methods and options.
