SVG rotation issue with JavaScript variables












0















Is there a way to use a variable inside the rotation function in JavaScript? The script below does not work (x and y will not assigned).



var x = 20;
var y = 20;
object.children[0].setAttribute('transform','rotate(-20, x, y)');

          As setAttribute takes as string you can either use string concatenation or template literals (as shown below).



          var x = 20;
          var y = 20;
          object.children[0].setAttribute('transform',`rotate(-20, ${x}, ${y})`);


          As commented this is ES6 syntax. Below is using string concatenation.



          var x = 20;
          var y = 20;
          object.children[0].setAttribute('transform','rotate(-20, ' + x + ', ' + y + ')');

          While building the string in place with literals or concat is fine, if you are planning on doing this more than once, I would suggest creating a string builder function for rotate. For example:



          function rotateStr(a, x, y) {
          return `rotate(${a}, ${x}, ${y})`
          // return 'rotate(' + x + ',' + y + ',' + z + ')' if you can't use templates
          }

          var x = 20;
          var y = 20;
          object.children[0].setAttribute('transform', rotateStr(-20, x, y))

          object.children[0].setAttribute('transform', rotateStr(-20, x, y))
