Appending a New Transformation

html
<svg width="200" height="200">
  <rect width="100" height="100" fill="red" />
</svg>
js
const svgElement = document.querySelector("svg");
const rectElement = svgElement.querySelector("rect");

// Access the transform list of the <rect> element
const transformList = rectElement.transform.baseVal;

// Create a new translation transformation
const svgTransform = svgElement.createSVGTransform();
svgTransform.setTranslate(50, 50);

// Append the new transformation to the list
const appendedTransform = transformList.appendItem(svgTransform);

console.dir(appendedTransform); // Output: SVGTransform { type: 2, matrix: SVGMatrix, angle: 0 }
console.log(`Total number of transformations: ${transformList.numberOfItems}`); // Output: 1
