A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

What means # (sharp sign character) in typescript/javascript as a prefix for variable name?

What does # mean as a prefix for Typescript or Javascript class attribute name?

export class MyFacade {
  #state: MyState = {
    isLoading: true
  };

  readonly #store = new BehaviorSubject<MyState>(this.#state);
}

    The sharp sign # means the attribute is private and is only accessible from within the class.

    Typescript private is only checked at compilation when it transpiles to Javascript but the attribute can still be accessed and modified at runtime.

    myFacade['typescriptPrivateAttribute'] = 'newValue';

    in typescript or javascript if you use # before class attribute name like #state or #store, it means attribute is private to the class, so the attribute will be only accessed or modified within the class itself
