Private slots are new and can be created via Instance private fields

// ES2022
class InstPrivateClass {
  #privateField1 = 'private field 1'; // (A)
  #privateField2; // (B) required!
  constructor(value) {
    this.#privateField2 = value; // (C)
  }
  /**
   * Private fields are not accessible outside the class body.
   */
  checkPrivateValues() {
  console.log(this.#privateField1); // output -> 'private field 1'
  console.log(this.#privateField2); // output -> 'constructor argument'

  }
}

const inst = new InstPrivateClass('constructor argument');
  inst.checkPrivateValues();


console.log("inst", Object.keys(inst).length === 0) //output -> inst, true

Private slots are new and can be created via Instance and static private fields

// ES2022
class InstPrivateClass {
  #privateField1 = 'private field 1'; // (A)
  #privateField2; // (B) required!
  static #staticPrivateField = 'hello';
  constructor(value) {
    this.#privateField2 = value; // (C)
  }
  /**
   * Private fields are not accessible outside the class body.
   */
  checkPrivateValues() {
    console.log(this.#privateField1); // output -> 'private field 1'
    console.log(this.#privateField2); // output -> 'constructor argument'

  }

  static #twice() {
    return this.#staticPrivateField + " " + this.#staticPrivateField;
  }

  static getResultTwice() {
    return this.#twice()
  }
}

const inst = new InstPrivateClass('constructor argument');
inst.checkPrivateValues();


console.log("inst", Object.keys(inst).length === 0) //output -> "inst", true
console.log(InstPrivateClass.getResultTwice()); // output -> "hello hello"

Private slots are new and can be created via Private methods and accessors

// ES2022
class MyClass {
  #privateMethod() {}
  static check() {
    const inst = new MyClass();

    console.log(#privateMethod in inst) // output-> true

    console.log(#privateMethod in MyClass.prototype) // output-> false

    console.log(#privateMethod in MyClass) // output-> false
  }
}
MyClass.check();

Private slots are new and can be created via Static initialisation blocks in classes

class Translator {
  static translations = {
    yes: 'ja',
    no: 'nein',
    maybe: 'vielleicht',
  };
  static englishWords = [];
  static germanWords = [];
  static { // (A)
    for (const [english, german] of Object.entries(this.translations)) {
      this.englishWords.push(english);
      this.germanWords.push(german);
    }
  }
}


console.log(Translator.englishWords, Translator.germanWords)
//Output -> ["yes", "no", "maybe"], ["ja", "nein", "vielleicht"]

Private slots are new and can be created via Private slot checks

class C1 {
  #priv() {}
  static check(obj) {
    return #priv in obj;
  }
}

console.log(C1.check(new C1())) // output true
