attachments

[samzilverberg]

Hi there,

I managed sending attachments with this transport but found it very hard to understand how.

mandrillTransport.sendMail({
  from: '...',
  to : '...',
  ... : ...
  mandrillOptions: {
    message: {
      attachments: [
        {
          type: 'txt',
          name: 'bla.txt',
          content: new Buffer('lalalala').toString('base64')
        }
      ]
    }
  }
, cb })

please document this in your README or even better support the usage of attachments option as documented in nodemailer

If I have time i will try to submit a pr for this support.

+1 .. was wondering why attachments weren't working. Reverted to smtp transport for now.

Because there a bug, use @samzilverberg attachments-support branch.

Just add

// Fix for this bug.

  for( var prop in payload ){
    if( !(
      prop === 'async' ||
      prop === 'ip_pool' ||
      prop === 'send_at' ||
      prop === 'key' ||
      prop === 'message' ) ){

      payload.message[ prop ] = payload[ prop ];
      delete payload[ prop ];
    }
  }

after line 58 in mandrill-transport.js.
However "best practice" for this situation - separate attachments and images from mandrill API. IMHO.

Seems to be an issue for sending attachement using this package, kindly provide a readme.
Correct way to use
mandrillOptions: {
message: {
attachments: [
{
type: 'txt',
name: 'bla.txt',
content: new Buffer('lalalala').toString('base64')
}
]
}
}

This can be useful for those who want to use attached images in HTML template.

mandrillOptions: {
  message: {
    images: [
      {
        type: 'image/png',
        name: 'myUniqueCid',
        content: fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/image').toString('base64'),
      }
    ]
  }
}

Usage in template:

<img src="cid:myUniqueCid"/>

Note that it is crucial to add "cid:" before the text "myUniqueCid" which was used in mandrillOptions.
