### Implementing a Custom Data Source

Source: https://pub.dev/documentation/dartframe/latest/dartframe/DataSource-class.html

Demonstrates how to create a custom data source by extending the DataSource abstract class and implementing its core methods: `scheme`, `canHandle`, `read`, and `write`. It also shows how to register the custom data source with the `DataSourceRegistry`.

```APIDOC
## Implementing a Custom Data Source

To create a custom data source, extend the `DataSource` abstract class and implement the following:

- **`scheme`**: A getter that returns the URI scheme this data source handles (e.g., 'custom').
- **`canHandle(Uri uri)`**: A method that returns `true` if this data source can handle the given URI, `false` otherwise.
- **`read(Uri uri, Map<String, dynamic> options)`**: An asynchronous method that reads data from the source and returns a `DataFrame`.
- **`write(DataFrame df, Uri uri, Map<String, dynamic> options)`**: An asynchronous method that writes a `DataFrame` to the source.

After implementation, register your custom data source using `DataSourceRegistry.register()`.

```dart
class MyCustomSource extends DataSource {
  @override
  String get scheme => 'custom';

  @override
  bool canHandle(Uri uri) => uri.scheme == 'custom';

  @override
  Future<DataFrame> read(Uri uri, Map<String, dynamic> options) async {
    // Your implementation to read data
    throw UnimplementedError(); // Placeholder
  }

  @override
  Future<void> write(DataFrame df, Uri uri, Map<String, dynamic> options) async {
    // Your implementation to write data
    throw UnimplementedError(); // Placeholder
  }
}

// Register the custom data source
DataSourceRegistry.register(MyCustomSource());
```
```
