## Methods <a href="#methods" id="methods"></a>

### TransactionIntent#transactions(account) <a href="#transactionintent-transactions-account" id="transactionintent-transactions-account"></a>

Get the transactions to execute for the shortest transaction path.

This is an easier way to do `TransactionIntent.paths(account)[0].transactions`

| Name      | Type                            | Description                                                      |
| --------- | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `account` | `String`                        | The account that will sign the transaction.                      |
| returns   | `Promise<TransactionRequest[]>` | The transactions corresponding to the shortest transaction path. |

### TransactionIntent#paths(account)

Get the shortest transaction path for a given address. Note, `TransactionIntent#transactions()` can be called directly.

| Name      | Type                         | Description                                  |
| --------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `account` | `String`                     | The account that will sign the transaction.  |
| returns   | `Promise<TransactionPath[]>` | Array of all the possible transaction paths. |
