How to make animation with wave trajectory?

Question

JavaScript

I want to make an animated menu. Which opens and closes on click (collapse horizontally). But at the same time create a wave effect. Menu items - square icons, there will be 6 pieces.
And something got stuck. Firstly, I can't figure out which is easier, to do it with svg or with jquery. Secondly, I would be grateful for a link to the docks, meaning the implementation of animation along the trajectory.
If anyone knows what is ready - generally it will be great.
