D3 map: zoom to group of paths

I am new to D3. What I need to do:

  1. Create a map of a single state.
  2. The county borders must be displayed.
  3. The states regions North, South, East, West & Central must be filled with different colors. Each region is made up of counties.
  4. When the user clicks a region, the map must zoom into that region.

What I have been able to achieve so far: I have the first 3 requirements down. The problem is when I click on a county it zooms into that county instead of the region.

The code I wrote is based from the following examples:

Zoom to Bounding Box

https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4699541

NY State with Counties Clipped

https://bl.ocks.org/gregdevs/a73f8a16f129757c037e72ecdebdd8f2

The only part of the code I created myself (and the part that I think needs to changed) is the coloring of the regions. This was done using if then else statemenents to set the following class

 .attr('class', function (d) {
                  if (d.id == "51105" || d.id == "51169" || d.id == "51191" || d.id == "51520" || d.id == "51077" || d.id == "51035" ||
                      d.id == "51141" || d.id == "51089" || d.id == "51143" || d.id == "51590" || d.id == "51195" || d.id == "51051" ||
                      d.id == "51027" || d.id == "51167" || d.id == "51185" || d.id == "51173" || d.id == "51021" || d.id == "51197" ||

                      d.id == "51161" || d.id == "51770") {
                      return "WesternRegion";
                  }
                  else if (d.id == "51083" || d.id == "51117" || d.id == "51025" || d.id == "51081" || d.id == "51037" || d.id == "51011" ||
                           d.id == "51590" || d.id == "51029" || d.id == "51049" || d.id == "51145" || d.id == "51041" || d.id == "51111" ||
                           d.id == "51147" || d.id == "51183" || d.id == "51181" || d.id == "51007" || d.id == "51135" || d.id == "51053" ||
                           d.id == "51149" || d.id == "51087" || d.id == "51760") {
                      return "SouthernRegion";
                  }
                  else if (d.id == "51175" || d.id == "51800" || d.id == "51550" || d.id == "51810" || d.id == "51710" || d.id == "51093" ||
                           d.id == "51001" || d.id == "51131") {
                      return "EasternRegion";
                  }
                  else if (d.id == "51165" || d.id == "51171" || d.id == "51069" || d.id == "51043" || d.id == "51107" || d.id == "51059" ||
                           d.id == "51013" || d.id == "51510" || d.id == "51139" || d.id == "51187" || d.id == "51157" || d.id == "51061" || d.id == "51153") {
                      return "NorthernRegion";
                  }
                  else return "CentralRegion";
              })
              ;

Below is the full code. In order to get it working requires downloading us.json from https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/raw/4090846/us.json and copying it to a folder called scripts.

The problem is that it zooms to the county not the region: enter image description here

Here's my solution, which seems to work pretty well. The important changes I made were:

  • Only including those counties in the state of interest (makes it run much faster)
  • Indicating the "active" region rather than county
  • Whenever a county is clicked, iterate through all counties in that region to get max and min boundaries for zooming (this was key)

Something weird that I noted is that, when filtering out non-applicable counties, one applicable county kept filtering out, so I manually added it back in (gross).

var width = 960,
height = 500,
active = "";

var projection = d3.geo.albers().scale(1000).translate([width / 2, height / 2]);
var path = d3.geo.path().projection(projection);
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg").attr("width", width).attr("height", height);
svg.append("rect").attr("class", "background").attr("width", width).attr("height", height).on("click", reset);
var g = svg.append("g").style("stroke-width", "1.5px");
d3.json("scripts/us.json", function(error, us) {
    if (error) throw error;
    var states = topojson.feature(us, us.objects.states),
        state = states.features.filter(function(d) {
            return d.id === 51;
        })[0];
    projection.scale(1).translate([0, 0]);
    var b = path.bounds(state),
        s = .95 / Math.max((b[1][0] - b[0][0]) / width, (b[1][1] - b[0][1]) / height),
        t = [(width - s * (b[1][0] + b[0][0])) / 2, (height - s * (b[1][1] + b[0][1])) / 2];
    projection.scale(s).translate(t);
    g.selectAll("path").datum(topojson.mesh(us, us.objects.states, function(a, b) {
        return a !== b;
    })).attr("class", "mesh").attr("d", path).on("click", clicked);
    g.append("path").datum(state).attr("class", "outline").attr("d", path).attr('id', 'land');
    g.append("clipPath").attr("id", "clip-land").append("use").attr("xlink:href", "#land");
    us.objects.counties.geometries = us.objects.counties.geometries.filter(function(county) {
        return county.id >= 51000 && county.id < 52000
    });
    // Not sure why this one needs to be re-added
    us.objects.counties.geometries.push(us.objects.counties.geometries.find(function(d) {
        return d.id == 51069

First of all, you don't need those big if...else statements. They could be hugely simplified. For instance, to get the class inside the clicked function:

var thisClass = d3.select(this).attr("class");

Back to your question.

An solution is getting all the paths with the class of the clicked element and pushing their bounds inside an array:

var allBounds = [];

var allPaths = d3.selectAll("path." + thisClass).each(function(d) {
    allBounds.push(path.bounds(d))
});

Then calculate the corners of all those bounds:

var bound0 = d3.min(allBounds, function(d) {
    return d[0][0]
});
var bound1 = d3.min(allBounds, function(d) {
    return d[0][1]
});
var bound2 = d3.max(allBounds, function(d) {
    return d[1][0]
});
var bound3 = d3.max(allBounds, function(d) {
    return d[1][1]
});

var bounds = path.bounds(d),
