Related Posts: Add the jetpack-related-posts field to WP REST API for any post type

[htdat]

Currently, we're adding the jetpack-related-posts field to the WP REST API response of default posts only.

Code reference:

jetpack/modules/related-posts/jetpack-related-posts.php

Lines 1526 to 1535 in f8078c2

	public function rest_register_related_posts() {
	register_rest_field( 'post',
	'jetpack-related-posts',
	array(
	'get_callback' => array( $this, 'rest_get_related_posts' ),
	'update_callback' => null,
	'schema' => null,
	)
	);
	}

Requests

• It would be great if we can add a filter and support this for any post type.
• Furthermore, we support Related Posts for any post type allowing access via WP REST API. I think we can check rest_api_allowed_post_types and automatically add this jetpack-related-posts field to JSON.

Concern

I am not sure how this affects the current work to bring Gutenberg to Jetpack. It may be reviewed by someone working on Gutenberg for Related Posts (or Jetpack in general).
