How to apply position transformation

How to apply position transformation

How do I apply the drawing position in the world via shaders?
My vertex shader looks like this:
in vec2 position;
uniform mat4x4 model;
uniform mat4x4 view;
uniform mat4x4 projection;
void main() {
gl_Position = projection * view * model * vec4(position, 0.0, 1.0);
}
Where position is the positions of the vertexes of the triangles.
I'm binding the matrices as follows.
view:
glm::mat4x4 view = glm::lookAt(
glm::vec3(0.0f, 1.2f, 1.2f), // camera position
glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), // camera target
glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)); // camera up axis
GLint view_uniform = glGetUniformLocation(shader, "view");
glUniformMatrix4fv(view_uniform, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(view));
projection:
glm::mat4x4 projection = glm::perspective(80.0f, 640.0f/480.0f, 0.1f,
100.0f);
GLint projection_uniform = glGetUniformLocation(shader, "projection");
glUniformMatrix4fv(projection_uniform, 1, GL_FALSE,
glm::value_ptr(projection));
model transformation:
glm::mat4x4 model;
model = glm::translate(model, glm::vec3(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
model = glm::rotate(model, static_cast<float>((glm::sin(currenttime)) *
360.0), glm::vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.0));
GLint trans_uniform = glGetUniformLocation(shader, "model");
glUniformMatrix4fv(trans_uniform, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(model));
So this way I have to compute the position transformation each frame on
the CPU. Is this the recommended way or is there a better one?
