What does Angular 10 hashes in class fields mean?

Question

I'm used to seeing hashes in older Angular (< 10) versions in the HTML templates to declare DOM elements as variables.

But in Angular 10 I found examples where hashes are used inside component classes.

class Product {

  #name: string;

  get name(): string {
    return this.#name;
  }
}

Can anyone explain to me how it works?

It's not part of Angular, see https://github.com/tc39/proposal-private-methods — jonrsharpe, Jul 26 '20 at 15:47

It's a way to mark fields as private. This function is experimental. Some browsers does not support it.
