Get translate3d values of a div?

Question

Say a div has this applied to it:

-webkit-transform: translate3d(0px, -200px, 0px)

How could I retrieve those values with jQuery?

Answer 1

I don't know about the various edge cases, but in my case it's always 3 values like 'translate3d(23px, 34px, 40px)', so this was the cleanest way I could find:

function getMatrix(element) {
    const values = element.style.transform.split(/\w+\(|\);?/);
    const transform = values[1].split(/,\s?/g).map(parseInt);

    return {
      x: transform[0],
      y: transform[1],
      z: transform[2]
    };
}

Result:

{x: 238, y: 0, z: 0}
