JSLink on Modern Sites

Problem:  I want to use JSLink/CSR to amend a view on a list for a client on SharePoint Online/O365 and I can't find the JSLink property on the List View Web Part to perform simple Conditional formatting on a column.  JSLink as brilliant for achieving this task in SP 2016 and 2013.
Hypothesis: Modern sites use the Modern List View Web Part that is a new implementation of the LVWP.  https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Introducing-SharePoint-modern-list-library-web-parts/ba-p/64581  I assume pragmatically 1 can still use JSLink, but on "modern" pages this needs to be verified.

Resolution: Use "Column Formatting" as outlined here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting#get-started-with-column-formatting
