Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported DOM behavior with react-draggable and inspect the generated transform value. Compare the current translate-only result with the requested translate-plus-rotate result. Done means the draggable element can retain its translation while also applying the requested rotation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I create a DOM in react-draggable, now I rotate the DOM

since react-draggable will set a transform property inside the DOM when render, it makes my transform rotate properties not working properly

for example, the DOM css is transform: translate(265px, 262px), but what I want is transform: translate(265px, 262px) rotate(33deg)

how can I acquire?
