In this example, the svg-plus button transforms into a close button when clicked and vice versa with svg.setAttribute("transform","rotate(45)");

Is it possible to time this transformation so that it’s not just a change from one to another but a smooth transition?

Here is the example:

function rotate() {
  var svg = document.getElementById("svgID");
  if (svg.getAttribute("transform") === "rotate(45)") {
    svg.setAttribute("transform", "rotate(0)");
  } else {
    svg.setAttribute("transform", "rotate(45)");
  }
}
#button {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background: none;
  outline: none;
  box-shadow: none;
  border: none;
}
<button id="button" onclick="rotate()">
        <svg id="svgID"
        width="100%"
        height="100%"
        viewBox="0 0 142.40739 142.40991"
        version="1.1"
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
        xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
       <defs
          id="defs6" />
        <path
          id="rect234"
          style="display:inline;opacity:1;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-miterlimit:0;stroke-dasharray:none;paint-order:stroke fill markers"
          d="m 85.223081,28.929132 a 4.2333333,4.2333333 0 0 0 -4.233333,4.233333 v 62.801852 l -65.486442,-0.24339 a 4.107912,4.107912 0 0 0 -4.247803,3.96255 4.2333333,4.2333333 0 0 0 4.217313,4.249353 l 65.516932,0.24339 v 62.9295 a 4.107912,4.107912 0 0 0 3.978568,4.23333 4.2333333,4.2333333 0 0 0 4.233334,-4.23333 v -62.89901 l 60.21338,0.22376 a 4.107912,4.107912 0 0 0 4.2478,-3.96255 4.2333333,4.2333333 0 0 0 -4.21731,-4.248833 L 89.20165,95.994807 V 33.162465 a 4.107912,4.107912 0 0 0 -3.978569,-4.233333 z"

  1. You need to can use the CSS property animate.

    The following shows a one-way/one-time animation. (once clicked it wont return or animate further)

    let svg = document.querySelector("#svg")
    svg.addEventListener("click", () => {
      if (!svg.classList.contains("animateSVG")) {
        svg.classList.add("animateSVG")
      }
    })
    #container {
        position: absolute;
        top: 0px;
        left: 0px;
        height: 100px;
        width: 100px;
        border: 1px solid black;
    }
    @keyframes frames {
        0% {
            transform: rotate(0deg);
        }
        100% {
            transform: rotate(45deg);
        }
    }
    
    .animateSVG {
        animation-name: frames;
        animation-duration: 1s;
        animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    }
    <div id="container">
        <svg id="svg" viewBox="0 0 3 3" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
            <path style="opacity: 0.468379; fill: none; stroke: #000000; stroke-width: 0.264583; stroke-linecap: round; stroke-linejoin: round;" d="M0.5,1.5h2zM1.5,0.5v2z" />
        </svg>
    </div>

  2. Method 1: requestAnimationFrame

    function anim(from, to, cb, duration=100) {
      let startms;
      const frame = ms => {
        const x = (ms - startms) ;
        if (x > duration) {
          return cb(to);
        }
        cb(x / duration * (to - from) + from)
        requestAnimationFrame(frame);
      }
      requestAnimationFrame(ms => {
        startms = ms;
        requestAnimationFrame(frame);
      })
    }
    
    function rotate() {
      var svg = document.getElementById("svgID");
      if (svg.getAttribute("transform") === "rotate(45)") {
        anim(45, 0, v=> svg.setAttribute("transform", `rotate(${v})`));
      } else {
        anim(0, 45, v=> svg.setAttribute("transform", `rotate(${v})`));
      }
    }
    #button {
      margin: 0;

    Method 2: animate
