Winston 3.0.0-rc1 feedback

I’ve been looking for the right logging library, and I think this is it!

I have just one complaint: I would like more built-in control over colorization.

I just started using winston this morning, so please forgive me if I’m missing something. But as far as I can tell, calling winston.format.colorize() only colorizes the level and/or message properties.

I am using the following format:

    winston.format.combine(
            winston.format.label({ 'label': `[${label}]` }),
            winston.format.colorize(),
            colorizeLabel(),
            winston.format.printf( 
                (info) => { return `${info.label} ${info.level} ${info.message}` } 
            )
    )

I wanted to be able to tell winston.format.colorize() that I wanted to add color to info.label.

• After reading up on winston.format, I had to go to winstonjs/logform and read up.
• After reading the README, I couldn’t find the info I needed, so I started reading the source code of colorize.js.
• It turned out that logform’s colorize() function uses the colors package, so I had to go to a third place and read about how that works.
• Finally, I had to write a small custom function (colorizeLabel), and insert it into the formatting “pipeline”.

This was (uncharacteristically) tedious. Everything else about Winston is very easy, and very well-documented. (THANK YOU for such great documentation!)

I would love to be able to pass options to colorize() that allow me to map colors to whatever pieces of the info object I want.

Is this possible, say, before the official release of v3.0.0?
