Simple controller Example:
<?php
// src/Slot/ExampleBundle/Controller/ExampleController.php
namespace Slot\ExampleBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Slot\MandrillBundle\Message;
use Slot\MandrillBundle\Dispatcher;
class ExampleController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
$dispatcher = $this->get('slot_mandrill.dispatcher');
$message = new Message();
$message
->setFromEmail('[email protected]')
->setFromName('Customer Care')
->addTo('[email protected]')
->setSubject('Some Subject')
->setHtml('<html><body><h1>Some Content</h1></body></html>')
->setSubaccount('Project');
$result = $dispatcher->send($message);
return new Response('<pre>' . print_r($result, true) . '</pre>');
}
}By default the bundle will assume the merge language is 'mailchimp'. You can
change this with $message->setMergeLanguage('handlebars')
