Description

The package concerned is algolia-fragmenter specifically the transformToAlgoliaObject function.

Currently, the algoliaPost is hardcoded and the function does not offer any way to add additional fields. It will be interesting to add an optional argument to transformToAlgoliaObject which will help to extend the algoliaPost.

Research direction

Start in packages/algolia-fragmenter/lib/transformer.js at transformToAlgoliaObject, then read the surrounding transformer code and its callers to understand the current algoliaPost shape. The work is complete when the function supports optional additional post fields without changing existing behavior.
