Populate Resources of a method call and return transactions array

[webdevalgo]

Problem

Currently calling a method on client generate just sends transactions to the blockchain but there can be cases where it would be very useful to call two or many methods on that client in same txn group.

For example: Trying to call client.approve() and client.sell(), has to be in two different txn groups.

Solution

We can add an option to method calls so it returns array of txns instead of sending it to the blockchain.

const approveTxns = await client.approve(...args,{ returnTxns: true });
const sellTxns = await client.sell(...sellArgs,{ returnTxns: true });
const allTxns = [...aproveTxns, ...sellTxns];
for(const txn of allTxns){
    txn.group = undefined;
}
algosdk.assignGroup(allTxns);
algod.sendTransactions(allTxns);

Currently you can pass the ATC to populateAppCallResources which will return a new ATC with the same tx group + references. I agree though that it would be nice to have a way to do this automatically.

You can also use .compose to compose multiple calls together into one atomic group :)
