Chartjs-Zooming/blowup and panning option in chart.js on category scales

Check out chartjs-plugin-zoom. It is a plugin that adds the capability to zoom in/out and pan left/right/up/down to view the rest of your data that is not currently displayed on the zoomed chart.

Here is a live codepen example.

I’m not sure it will do exactly what you need, but its a great place to start (you can use this as a base and extend it to your needs). This plugin is also developed/supported by the same team as chart.js.
