Dynamically calling private methods of a class?

• 0
  I decided to try using the recently introduced private methods on the project. Small sample code:
  

  class Validate{
  
    constructor({val, type}){
      this.type = type;
      this.val = val;
      this.err = false
    }
  
    #login(){
      return /[a-zA-Z]/.test(this.val);
    }
  
  
    isValidField(){
      const type = '#'+this.type; //login
      return this[type]();
    }  
  }
  
  
    return new Validate({val: 'test', type: 'login'}).isValidField();

  
  
  Public methods can be called in this way without problems, but an error occurs with private methods. Is there a way to call private methods dynamically, or is this all a waste of time?

  No. Only the class itself can operate on private fields containing :
  
  
  
  

  Only the class which defines the private static field can access the field.

  
  
  But you can use getters and setters.

  This is really a waste of time. Private methods cannot be called dynamically.
