How do I register the Chart.js Zoom plugin?
I am attempting to use the `chartjs-zoom-plugin` v2.0.1 with Chart.js v4.4.0. I have the plugin as the file `chartjs-plugin-zoom-2.0.1.min.js`, and I have imported it into my page using ``` <script type="text/javascript" src="chartjs-plugin-zoom-2.0.1.min.js"></script> ``` In order to use the plugin, I must register it. The [documentation](https://www.chartjs.org/chartjs-plugin-zoom/latest/guide/integration.html) contains no information on how to do so. The only hint is a single example given for the case of something called a "Bundler", which I am not using: ``` Chart.register(zoomPlugin); ``` From what I can tell, the current accepted method of registering Chart.js plugins is via the `plugins` list option to the constructor. I assume that, as with the Bundler example, the name of the plugin is `zoomPlugin`: ``` let plot1 = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'scatter', data: { datasets: [{...}] }, plugins: [zoomPlugin], options: {...} } ``` When I try this, it throws the console error ``` Uncaught ReferenceError: zoomPlugin is not defined ``` I have also tried the forms ``` Chart.register(zoomPlugin); let plot1 = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'scatter', data: { datasets: [{...}] }, options: {...} } ``` ``` let plot1 = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'scatter', data: { datasets: [{...}] }, options: {...} } Chart.register(zoomPlugin); ``` ``` let plot1 = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'scatter', data: { datasets: [{...}] }, options: {...} } plot1.register(zoomPlugin); ``` All give the `zoomPlugin is not defined` error. I give up. How do I register the `chartjs-zoom-plugin` in Chart.js 4.4.0?
