Using modifyClass to change core behavior

Documentation Developer Guides
21

If both plugins are installed and enabled, it should work with no problems. If the target isn’t installed/enabled, you’ll get a warning in the console. But you can use the ignoreMissing parameter to silence that.

api.modifyClass(
  "component:some-component",
  (Superclass) => ...,
  { ignoreMissing: true }
);

Of course, standard modifyClass advice still applies: it should be a last resort, and it can break at any time so you should ensure your testing is good enough to identify issues quickly. Using transformers would be a much safer strategy.
