TS2341

Property '{0}' is private and only accessible within class '{1}'.

A `private` member is used outside the class that declares it. Use a public method, or change its visibility.

What it means

A member marked private can only be used inside its own class body, not in subclasses or other code.

Example

index.ts
class Account {
  private balance = 0;
}

export const b = new Account().balance;
ts-r-check -p tsconfig.json --pretty false ts-r output
index.ts(5,32): error TS2341: Property 'balance' is private and only accessible within class 'Account'.

Recorded by node scripts/verify-examples.mjs with ts-r built from commit 6deaf01. The example uses the default tsconfig: strict, target: es2022, module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler.

How to fix

  • Use a public method or getter that exposes what you need.
  • Make the member protected (subclasses) or public if outside code should use it.
