JavaScript Limit variable

Hi, I'm making a website with a picture of a bed mattress that is turning right/left. I've made a js script to rotate the picture 5 degrees forward when the right-arrow button on a keyboard is pressed and -5 degrees back when the left-arrow button is pressed. However, it is possible to completely flip the bed, which is not in my interest, so I was wondering if it was possible to somehow limit the rotation in the interval -20 deg ; 90 deg?

Heres the code for the js:

JavaScript:
<script>
    var current_rotation = 0

    function rotate(grader) {
        current_rotation = grader + current_rotation;
        document.getElementById("madras").style.transform = 'rotate(' + current_rotation + 'deg)';
        console.log("Der er blevet roteret!");
    };

    document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
        if (event.keyCode == 39) {
            rotate(5)
        } else if (event.keyCode == 37) {
            rotate(-5)
        }
    }, true);

</script>

Thanks in advance,
Marcus
 
Change your rotate function to something like this:

JavaScript:
function rotate(grader) {
    let min = -20;    // Minimum Degrees
    let max = 90;    // Maximum Degrees
    let new_rotation = grader + current_rotation;

    if(new_rotation < min || new_rotation > max) {
        console.log("Cannot rotate, angle out of bounds");
    }
    else {
        current_rotation = new_rotation;
        document.getElementById("madras").style.transform = 'rotate(' + current_rotation + 'deg)';
        console.log("Der er blevet roteret!");
    }   
};
