Templates

miro:mailchimp-lists also exposes one template you can use out of the box: {{> MailChimpLists}}, which will render all mailing lists for a given API Key.

Installation

Install using Meteor:

meteor add miro:mailchimp-lists // It will add miro:mailchimp package
								// if not not already installed

Quick Start

Use in your template:

<div id="mailChimpLists">
	<!-- There's also another utility template
	     you can use to refresh the list -->
	{{> MailChimpListsRefresh}}
	{{> MailChimpLists}}
</div>

Put in your server's settings.json:

{
	"private": {
		"MailChimp": {
			"apiKey": "<Your MailChimp API Key>",
			"listId": "<ID of your default mailing list>"
		}
	}
}

and start your server with:

meteor --settings settings.json

API

MailChimpLists at the moment exposes the following methods both server- and client-side:

NOTE: If callback is ommited server-side, the method runs "synchronously" via Meteor.wrapAsync method.

list( params, callback )

List all mailing lists for a given API Key

• params Parameters to pass to the API method.
• callback Callback function for returned data or errors with two parameters. The first one being an error object which is null when no error occured, the second one an object with all information retrieved as long as no error occured.

subscribe( params, callback )

Subscribe email to the list

• params Parameters to pass to the API method.
• callback Callback function for returned data or errors with two parameters. The first one being an error object which is null when no error occured, the second one an object with all information retrieved as long as no error occured.

unsubscribe( params, callback )

Unsubscribe email from the list

• params Parameters to pass to the API method.
• callback Callback function for returned data or errors with two parameters. The first one being an error object which is null when no error occured, the second one an object with all information retrieved as long as no error occured.

interestGroupings( params, callback )

List recipient groups for a given list

• params Parameters to pass to the API method.
• callback Callback function for returned data or errors with two parameters. The first one being an error object which is null when no error occured, the second one an object with all information retrieved as long as no error occured.

For convenience, there's also a general method call:

call( method, params, callback )

• method The method to call in the given section.
• params Parameters to pass to the API method.
• callback (optional server-side, required client-side) Callback function for returned data or errors with two parameters. The first one being an error object which is null when no error occured, the second one an object with all information retrieved as long as no error occured.

Also for convenience, there are utility methods (client-side only!):

lists()

List all lists for a given API Key

refresh()

Refresh list of all lists for a given API Key

Examples

Callback, server-side/client-side

// You can as well pass different parameters on each call
var mailingLists = new MailChimpLists( /* apiKey, { version : '2.0' } */ );

mailingLists.list(
	{ /*
		filters: {
			list_id: '<some_list_id>'
		},
		start: 0,
		limit: 100,
		sort_field: '',
		sort_dir: '' */
	},
	// Callback beauty in action
	function ( error, result ) {
		if ( error ) {
			console.error( '[MailChimpLists][List] Error: %o', error );
		} else {
			// Do something with your data!
			console.info( '[MailChimpLists][List]: %o', result );
		}
	}
);

wrapAsync, server-side ONLY

// You can as well pass different parameters on each call
var mailingLists = new MailChimpLists( /* apiKey, { version : '2.0' } */ );

var result = mailingLists.list(
	{ /*
		filters: {
			list_id: '<some_list_id>'
		},
		start: 0,
		limit: 100,
		sort_field: '',
		sort_dir: '' */
	}
);

// Do something with your data!
console.info( '[MailChimpLists][Lists]:\n', JSON.stringify( result ) );
