[](#helthe-mandrill--)

Helthe Mandrill is a client library for interacting with the [Mandrill](http://www.mandrill.com) API. It is currently designed to be a drop in alternative for sending emails with Mandrill. Features will be added over time to be closer to the official client library. However, for a feature complete client, you should use the official Mandrill [client library](https://bitbucket.org/mailchimp/mandrill-api-php).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Using Composer

[](#using-composer)

#### Manually

[](#manually)

Add the following in your `composer.json`:

```
{
    "require": {
        // ...
        "helthe/mandrill": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

#### Using the command line

[](#using-the-command-line)

```
$ composer require 'helthe/mandrill=dev-master'
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Client

[](#client)

The Mandrill client uses a [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle) client for interacting with the Mandrill API and the Symfony [Serializer](https://github.com/symfony/serializer) for serializing the data. The serializer is expected to have [CustomNormalizer](http://api.symfony.com/master/Symfony/Component/Serializer/Normalizer/CustomNormalizer.html)and the [JsonEncoder](http://api.symfony.com/master/Symfony/Component/Serializer/Encoder/JsonEncoder.html).

```
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
use Helthe\Component\Mandrill\Client;
use Helthe\Component\Mandrill\Message\Message;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Encoder\JsonEncoder;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\CustomNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer.

// GuzzleHttp\ClientInterface
$guzzle = new GuzzleClient();
// Symfony\Component\Serializer\SerializerInterface
$serializer = new Serializer(array(new CustomNormalizer()), array(new JsonEncoder()));

$client = new Client($guzzle, $serializer, 'your_api_key');

$client->sendMessage(new Message('recipient@email.com', 'sender@email.com');
```

### Mailer

[](#mailer)

The mailer classes are design to hide internal workings of the library and offer a standard interface for sending messages. The package offers two mailer classes for you to use.

#### Mailer

[](#mailer-1)

The `Mailer` class is used when you want to send regular text/HTML messages.

#### TemplatingEngineMailer

[](#templatingenginemailer)

The `TemplatingEngineMailer` class is used when you want to render your message content with using a templating engine implementing the `EngineInterface`from the Symfony [Templating](https://github.com/symfony/templating) Component.
