How to properly use the rpc command `listunspent` with `bitcore-lib` to create a transaction and get the transaction hash?

Question

I am trying to use the rpc command listunspent to get all the UTXOs relevant to an address, and then I am trying to pass it to a transaction, using bitcore-lib. Below is my code:

const Client = require('bitcoin-core');
const bitcore = require('bitcore-lib');
const client = new Client({ 
  network: 'regtest', 
  username: 'bitcoinuser', 
  password: 'bitcoinpass', 
  port: 18443 
});

var tx = new bitcore.Transaction();

var sourceAddress = ["mwkT2k1o6k4dF7ZZQ2VBbw7VedBkQA2CBK"];
var minconf = 6;
var maxconf = 999999;
var targetAddress = "2Mw3iwZdVXjeb7BN5hWqegFs8VdfZo5Rmdo";
var privateKey = "cQqVxdtPz95monJe8QJUE4h5JVtSSAjTQ1SU6z8PL9pmFj5V7ieA";

var txns = [];
client.listUnspent(minconf, maxconf, sourceAddress)
    .then(function(help){
    txns = help.slice();
    return txns;
  }).then(function(txns){
    return tx.from(txns).to(targetAddress, 15000).sign(privateKey);
  }).then(function(result){
    console.log(result);
  });

The result is similar to the transaction object.

What I want is to receive the transaction hash, which I can then broadcast.

Note: I am trying to run my core in regtest mode, I do not want to use livenet or testnet. I have also disclosed the public and private keys, as they do not hold any real value.

The first few lines of the output looks like this:

       witnesses: [],

          _satoshisBN:

                  opcodenum: 33 },

             _isOutput: true } },

First, you need to serialize the transaction:

let txSerialized = transaction.serialize(true);

Then you can broadcast it:

client.sendRawTransaction(txSerialized, (error, response) => { if (error) console.log(error); console.log(response); });
