3.0.0-rc1 - Unable to log timestamps

I followed the example from the documentation, and created a logger as shown below:

const { createLogger, format, transports } = require('winston');

const logger = createLogger(
    {
        level: 'info',
        transports: [new transports.Console({
            showLevel: false,
            colorize: true,
            timestamp: true
        })
        ]
    }
);

logger.info('Server started');

But, I can seem to get the time stamps working. I get the following output in black and white:

{“message”:“Server started”,“level”:“info”}

Based on the documentation at https://github.com/winstonjs/winston/blob/master/docs/transports.md#console-transport, setting timestamp flag to true should put a default timestamp.

I even tried by returning a custom timestamp by passing a function but even that doesn’t show up. Perhaps, I missed something but it seems like none of the options work, ie. colorize, showLevel, timestamp.

Or is the documentation out of sync?

Use the printf format like this:

const { createLogger, format, transports } = require('winston')
const { colorize, combine, timestamp, printf } = format

// Define your custom format with printf.
const myFormat = printf(info => {
  return `${info.timestamp} ${info.level}: ${info.message}`
})

const logger = createLogger({
  format: combine(
    timestamp(),
    colorize(),
    myFormat
  ),
  transports: [new transports.Console()]
})

logger.info('foo') // -> 2018-02-21T03:55:19.236Z info: foo

why format.timestamp does not work without format.json being declared after format.timestamp?
