Alternative for parse.com’s cloud module Mandrill.

mandrill-utf-8.js

var mandrillApiKey;
var path = 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/';

exports.initialize = function(apiKey) {
  mandrillApiKey = apiKey;
};

exports.sendMail = function(params, options){
  callMandrill('send.json', params, options);
};

exports.sendTemplate = function(params, options) {
  callMandrill('send-template.json', params, options);
};

function callMandrill(url, params, options) {
  Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
     'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    },
    url: path + url,
    body: (function(){
      params.key = mandrillApiKey;
      return params;
    })(),
  },options);
}

Why do we need alternative?

UTF-8 characters such as Korean and Chinese are not sent through Parse’s Mandril cloud module.
So I just simply added 'charset=utf-8’ in HTTP header when using Mandril’s API.

Usage

// var Mandrill = require(“mandrill");
var Mandrill = require("[YOUR_PATH]/mandrill-utf-8.js"); // just add this line instead above line
Mandrill.initialize("vquEF_qDNFPIqSTl_dOMXw");
Mandrill.sendEmail({/*params*/},{/*options*/});
Mandrill.sendTemplate({/*params*/},{/*options*/});
