[datagrid] Recipe for extending GridApi with custom functionality

[MBilalShafi]

I am not sure if I understand the motivation behind extending the GridApi.
Is it,

1. To extend the API by adding custom methods which you can later access using apiRef.current.customMethod or
2. To override the internal API methods added by the grid

For 1, you could simply use the custom methods wherever needed without adding them to the apiRef.
For 2, it is not recommended as it may cause the grid to behave unexpectedly if factory methods are overridden improperly, you are provided with exposed props where it makes sense for the developers to override the methods via slotProps or component props in general.

Therefore, if you could expand more about the motivation, we may be able to assist you better.

Thanks
