Both nvd3 and c3.js are famous reusable charts.All chats are implemented by using d3 library.So whenever user need to use these libraries they simply need to copy the coding and change their own data.That sol your change is ready.

Data will be created either json or csv.Based on the graph they created some sample data for each graph.So you need to create your own data with the same format which they created.
