You can pass any transform property as a string.
HOW?
It can be done like this;
div.style.transform = "translate(x,y)"
I find out that if I write
div.style.transform = "translate(someValue)"
It only affects x axes.
"translate-y(someValue)" or "translate-x(someValue)"
did not work out.
Or you can use rotate property;
div.style.transform = "rotate(50px)".
Try it!
