  const options = {
    translate: true,      // Animate position change
    scale: true,          // Animate size change
    exemptParents: true,  // Will ignore elements explicitly passed when they are matched as a child of another element.
    exempt: [],           // List of element to exempt 
    animationOptions: {
      easing: 'ease-out', // Https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/animate#Parameters
