Description

Your dashboard element is now "selected". D3 has a number of functions for working with a selection; one of them is append. It is used to add an element. Chain the append function to your selection and use it to add an svg element. Here's an example of how that might be done:

const variableName = d3.select('selectedElement')
  .append('elementToAdd')
