Use

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>');

    }

}

Using Handlebars

By default the bundle will assume the merge language is 'mailchimp'. You can change this with $message->setMergeLanguage('handlebars')
