Description

I am not the original creator of this code. The original repository was forked in order to update compatibility with PHP 8.

mandrill-api-php

A PHP client library for Mandrill's API.

This library provides all of the functionality present in the official PHP client, but makes use of namespaces and provides helper classes to ease message sending.

Installation Using Composer

Assuming composer.phar is located in your project's root directory, run the following command:

composer require gcolon021/mandrill-api-php-8

Usage

Sending a Message

use Jlinn\Mandrill\Mandrill;
use Jlinn\Mandrill\Struct\Message;
use Jlinn\Mandrill\Struct\Recipient;

// instantiate a client object
$mandrill = new Mandrill('your_api_key');

// instantiate a Message object
$message = new Message();

// define message properties
$message->text = 'Hello, *|NAME|*!';
$message->subject = 'Test';
$message->from_email = 'test@example.com';
$message->from_name = 'Mandrill API Test';

// instantiate a Recipient object and add details
$recipient = new Recipient();
$recipient->email = 'recipient.email@example.com';
$recipient->name = 'Recipient Name';
$recipient->addMergeVar('NAME', $recipient->name);

// add the recipient to the message
$message->addRecipient($recipient);

// send the message
$response = $mandrill->messages()->send($message);

Usage with Laravel 4.x

We have built a factory so that it's easier to use with Laravel 4.x facades.

Configuration

In order to publish the package configuration you need to perform the following command:

php artisan config:publish jlinn/mandrill-api-php

Change then the secret variable with your Mandrill secret key.

Sending a Message

// instantiate a client object
$api = Mandrill::api();

// instantiate a message object
$message = Mandrill::message([
    'text'       => 'Hello, *|NAME|*!',
    'subject'    => 'Test',
    'from_email' => 'test@example.com',
    'from_name'  => 'Mandrill API Test'
]);

// instantiate a Recipient object and add details
$recipient = Mandrill::recipient('recipient.email@example.com', 'Recipient Name');
$recipient->addMergeVar('NAME', $recipient->name);

// add the recipient to the message
$message->addRecipient($recipient);

// send the message
$response = $api->messages()->send($message);
