        "connector": "lb-connector-mandrill",
        "apikey": "[your api key here]",
        "defaults": {

var DataSource = require('loopback-datasource-juggler').DataSource;
var dsMandrill = new DataSource('lb-connector-mandrill', {
    apikey: '[your api key here]'
});
loopback.Email.attachTo(dsMandrill);

3. Use

Basic option same as built in Loopback

loopback.Email.send({
    to: "[email protected]",
    from: "[email protected]",
    subject: "subject",
    text: "text message",
    html: "html <b>message</b>"
},
function(err, result) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('Upppss something crash');
        return;
    }
    console.log(result);
});

Some advantages - now you can use templates from Mandrill

loopback.Email.send({
    to: "[email protected]",
    from: "[email protected]",
    subject: "subject",
    template: {
        name: "signup-confirm",
        content: {
            name: "NewUser Name",
            accountId: "123456"
        }
    }
},
function(err, result) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('Upppss something crash');
        return;
    }
    console.log(result);
});
