<template>
  <div ref="chart"></div>
</template>

<script>
import * as d3 from 'd3';
import { zoom } from 'd3-zoom';

export default {
  mounted() {
    const svg = d3.select(this.$refs.chart)
      .append('svg')
      .attr('width', 400)
      .attr('height', 300);

    const rect = svg.append('rect')
      .attr('width', 400)
      .attr('height', 300)
      .attr('fill', 'lightblue');

    const zoomHandler = zoom()
      .on('zoom', () => {
        rect.attr('transform', d3.event.transform);
      });

    svg.call(zoomHandler);
  }
};
</script>

<style>
svg {
  border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>

1. Add zoom behavior to the chart: In the mounted hook of the Vue component, select the chart element using d3.select and append an SVG element. Create a rectangle inside the SVG element and apply zoom behavior using the d3-zoom library. Use the zoom event to update the transformation of the rectangle based on the zoom event.
2. Customize the zoom behavior: You can customize the zoom behavior by changing the scale, translate, or other properties of the chart elements based on the zoom event.

With these steps, you can zoom a chart with d3.js in Vue.js using the d3-zoom library. Customize the zoom behavior to suit your needs and enhance the interactivity of your charts.
