Extend output function

You can use this function to update the default output of this actor. This function gets a JQuery handle $ as an argument so you can choose what data from the page you want to scrape. The output from this will function will get merged with the default output.

The return value of this function has to be an object!

You can return fields to achieve 3 different things:

Add a new field - Return object with a field that is not in the default output
Change a field - Return an existing field with a new value

($) => {
    return {
        comment: 'This is a comment',
    }
}
