Specify preload/create functions when instantiating Phaser.Game

According to phaser.io/tutorials, you can set a initial preload/create function for the game instance:

this.game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, 'content', { preload: this.preload, create: this.create });

However, I'm trying to pass these constructor arguments as an object instead:

SceneContainers.phaserGame = new Phaser.Game({
    width: ProjectSettings.resolution[0],
    height: ProjectSettings.resolution[1],
    type: Phaser.AUTO,
    parent: 'content',
    backgroundColor: ProjectSettings.backgroundColor,
    // 'preload: ...' and 'create: ...' do not exist here
    // Also, 'callbacks: ...' does not support 'preload: ...' and 'create: ...'
    // according to TypeScript completions.
});

To which property does belong preload/create? When I look at the API docs, I search for preload and nothing shows up: Phaser.Game and Phaser.Types.Core.GameConfig.

The short answer: Yes, it does exist. It is the property scene.

var config = {
    ...
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    scene: { preload, create},
    ...
};

Althought, that property can be set with other data types.

Minor Update: In the official tutorial section, there are several nice examples, on how this property can be used https://phaser.io/examples/v3/category/scenes, I still consult these examples, when I have to write phaser apps/code.
