[Feature Request] Set and Read properties

[TomS-]

AnimeJS is amazing, however for this current project I need to set transform properties without animating them. I can do this using javascript however it becomes problematic when I need to set TranslateX, TranslateY and Scale.

duration: 0 doesn't work, I was wondering if anime.set() function could be made available and maybe anime.css() to read a value.

I am making a drag and drop module for a website, something that I would like to use the power of AnimeJS for.

something like

anime.set({
    targets: ".block",
    translateX: current.x + (e.clientX + mouse.x),
    translateY: current.y + (e.clientY + mouse.y),
    scale: anime.css(".block", "scale")
});

or

anime({
    targets: ".block",
    translateX: current.x + (e.clientX + mouse.x),
    translateY: current.y + (e.clientY + mouse.y),
    scale: anime.css(".block", "scale"),
    duration: 0
});

I'm just now also trying to do something similar - and the only way it works is to use a tiny duration, like 1ms.
eg:

anime({
    targets: els,
    translateX: 300,
    duration: 1
});

It would kinda be nice to be able to use a simple set method.

I'd also just as happily do: el.style.transform = "translate(300px,0)" - but the second you do that, anime stops working properly with future transform animations.

duration: 0 and seek(0) will be fixed in the next release.
