New: Auto-adding cycles to IC calls + cost calculation functions in `ic` mops package

I’ve added cycle cost calculation and cycle auto-attaching for the IC management canister functions. It’s available in the ic mops package version 2.1.0 in the Call module (docs here).

For exmple, instead of hardcoded cycle costs:

await (with cycles = 230_949_972_000) IC.http_request(args)

You can do:

import IC "mo:ic/Call";
...
await IC.httpRequest(args)

It will calculate the minimum amount of cycles needed for the call and auto-attach them.

Check out all available functions in the docs.
Cost functions are also exposed, in the inner Cost module.

moc with version at least 0.14.10 is needed!

Thanks to @ZenVoich for your assistance!


Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Let me know if you have questions or suggestions how to improve or what functionality is missing.
