JSPM – lb-connector-mandrill@0.0.3

Package Exports

lb-connector-mandrill

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (lb-connector-mandrill) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

1. Installation

npm install lb-connector-mandrill --save

2. Configuration

datasources.json

{
    "mandrill": {
        "connector": "lb-connector-mandrill",
        "apikey": "[your api key here]"
    }
}

model-config.json

{
    "Email": {
        "dataSource": "mandrill",
        "public": false
    }
}

Additionaly you can set defaults

{
    "mandrill": {
        "connector": "lb-connector-mandrill",
        "apikey": "[your api key here]",
        "defaults": {
            "account": "evenemento",
            "inline_css": true
        }
    }
}

Configuration in JavaScript

var DataSource = require('loopback-datasource-juggler').DataSource;
var dsMandrill = new DataSource('lb-connector-mandrill', {
    apikey: '[your api key here]'
});
loopback.Email.attachTo(dsMandrill);

3. Use

Basic option same as built in Loopback

loopback.Email.send({
    to: "test@to.com",
    from: "test@from.com",
    subject: "subject",
    text: "text message",
    html: "html <b>message</b>"
},
function(err, result) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('Upppss something crash');
        return;
    }
    console.log(result);
});

Some advantages - now you can use templates from Mandrill

loopback.Email.send({
    to: "test@to.com",
    from: "test@from.com",
    subject: "subject",
    template: {
        name: "signup-confirm",
        content: {
            name: "NewUser Name",
            accountId: "123456"
        }
    }
},
function(err, result) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('Upppss something crash');
        return;
    }
    console.log(result);
});
