{{APIRef("SVG")}}
The animVal property of the {{domxref("SVGAnimatedInteger")}} interface represents the animated value of an <integer>. If no animation is applied, animVal equals baseVal.
Some attributes, like the {{SVGAttr("numOctaves")}} attribute of the {{SVGElement("feTurbulence")}} element or the {{SVGAttr("order")}} attribute of the {{SVGElement("feConvolveMatrix")}} accept a long integer as a value. This property provides access to the current animated state of the attribute as a number.
A long; the animated value of the attribute.
const feTurbulence = document.querySelector("feTurbulence");
// Set the animatable 'numOctaves' attribute
feTurbulence.setAttribute("numOctaves", "4");
// Access the SVGAnimatedInteger object
const animatedInteger = feTurbulence.numOctaves;
// Get the animated value (read-only)
console.log(animatedInteger.animVal); // Output: 4 (the current animated value)
