A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – How i can make the object steady 180 degrees?

i have clothe object where user can rotation the cloth, i am using orbit control to rotation the object here, and the interface, user can change the color of clothe, there is a button to see the back of clothe, so i want to make sure when user click it it gonna show the back on cloth

here is how i animate is with anime js

this is how i init 3D and call function doSmething for show the back of cloth object

let _scene;
let _camera;
let _control;

function init3D() {
    _scene = new THREE.Scene();
    _camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, container.value.clientWidth / container.value.clientHeight, 0.1, 1000);
    _control = new OrbitControls(_camera, container.value);
}

init3D()

function doSometing() {
    gltfloader.load(
    url,
     (gltfModelOnLoad) => {
       _scene.add(gltfModelOnLoad.scene);
      
       anime({
          targets: _scene.rotation,
          y: _scene.rotation.y - Math.PI,
          duration: 2000,
          easing: 'easeInOutQuad',
          update: () => {
            renderSceneAndCamera();
          }
        });
   }, 
  undefined, 
  undefined

  )}
}


const renderSceneAndCamera = () => {
  _renderer.render(_scene, _camera);
}


  anime({
          targets: _scene.rotation,
          y: _scene.rotation.y - Math.PI,
          duration: 2000,
          easing: 'easeInOutQuad',
          update: () => {
            renderSceneAndCamera();
          }
        });

when i do this _scene.rotation.y - Math.PI it is not always rotation the back of clothe, also when i am on position 180 degree already, the scene becomes rotation the front of cloth ,

is that any way to make always the object rotation 180 degree what ever the rotation y changed ?

    You should rotate the camera instead of the model. First, get the position of the camera after it rotates to the back of the clothes, save it to a constant, and then use anime to transition the camera position when you need to rotate to the back of the clothes.

    const backPosition = new THREE.Vector3(1, 1, 1); // The position of the camera when it is on the back of the clothes.

anime({
    targets: _camera.position,
    x: backPosition.x,
    y: backPosition.y,
    z: backPosition.z,
    duration: 2000,
    easing: 'easeInOutQuad',
    update: () => {
        _control.update();
        // renderSceneAndCamera();
    }
});

    In general, the solution to this problem is not as simple as it may seem… Interfering with the camera with the transformations that @rookie proposes will cause a 180 degree rotation every time, not respecting the user’s input via OrbitControls. The solution below is not perfect but it may give you the direction of the output. I assume that the red face of the cube is the front of the shirt. I transformed the camera position to spherical coordinates by blocking the x-axis, because as I understood from your question, you will simply rotate the shirt, something like a 3D gallery, so activating the entire transformation is probably not the best approach. As for the animation itself, always showing the front of the shirt, you can use a quaternion, which will rotate the shirt so that its front (which by default is directed towards the Z axis, example (0, 0, 1)) points towards the camera.
