Mailchimp-it

Mailchimp-it is a small Javascript Library that turn a simple form into a working mailchimp form using a small PHP script as a dependency.

Getting started

Use the MailchimpIt.php script

My custom script use this Mailchimp PHP wrapper

to install it just

$ composer require drewm/mailchimp-api:dev-api-v3
$ composer install

Use your custom script

If you want to use your own script, because you want to implement your own logic, or simply because you work with a language like Python ❤, just take care with the input's names, you can use the default field names, but if you wan't to use your own names, don't forget to put them in the mailchimp-it configuration.

(function () {
    'use strict';
    mailchimpIt('.yourForm', {
        ...
        mailInputName: 'YOUR_CUSTOM_MAIL_FIELD_NAME',
        firstNameInputName: 'YOUR_CUSTOM_FIRST_NAME_FIELD_NAME',
        lastNameInputName: 'YOUR_CUSTOM_LAST_NAME_FIELD_NAME',
        ...
    });
}());

HTML

First of all, you need to load mailchimp-it files

<!-- You can customize mailchimp-it.css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/mailchimp-it.css"/>
<script src="dist/mailchimp-it.min.js"></script>

Then, prepare your form

<div class="form-container">
    <form class="test_form" method="post" action="src/MailchimpIt.php">
        <!-- Optional inputs -->
        <input type="text" name="newsletter_first_name"/>
        <input type="text" name="newsletter_last_name"/>
               
        <!-- Mandatory input -->
        <input type="email" name="newsletter_mail" required/>
        <button type="submit">subscribe</button>
    </form>
</div>
