{{APIRef("SVG")}}
The angle read-only property of the {{domxref("SVGTransform")}} interface represents the angle of the transformation in degrees.
For SVG_TRANSFORM_ROTATE, SVG_TRANSFORM_SKEWX, and SVG_TRANSFORM_SKEWY, angle reflects the transformation's rotation or skewing angle.
For SVG_TRANSFORM_MATRIX, SVG_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE and SVG_TRANSFORM_SCALE, angle will be zero.
An integer; the angle value in degrees as a float.

</svg>
const rect = document.getElementById("rect");
const transformList = rect.transform.baseVal;
// Create and add a rotation transform
const rotateTransform = rect.ownerSVGElement.createSVGTransform();
rotateTransform.setRotate(45, 100, 100); // Rotate 45 degrees
transformList.appendItem(rotateTransform);
// Access the angle property
console.log(transformList.getItem(0).angle); // Output: 45
