Send emails though mandrill as part of your build. Created to test our email template builds.
This is being hastily deployed for internal consumption. You probably shouldn't use this yet.
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-mandrill --save-devOnce the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mandrill');We have a build pipeline that compiles jade and sass into inline-styled HTML pages for email msgs.
The final step is to shoot out tests of each template to make sure nothing looks wonky.
Run this task with the grunt mandrill command.
Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.
Type: String
Your Mandrill API key
Type: String
The 'from' name and address. Acceptable domains may be restricted by your mandrill account settings
Type: String or Array
One or more email addresses to send your msg to. Multiple addresses should be entered as an array.
Type: String
The subject of your email
Type: String
If no files are specified in src:, the mandrill task will send a plaintext email
using body for the msg content.
src: is one or more files to be used as an email body. A new email will be sent for each file.
