object["prop"]
class TestObj { private method() { return "done" } } const testObj = new TestObj() expect(testObj["method"]()).toEqual("done")

Why it works?
It's JavaScript feature that you can access properties by using [property]. And in the end the TypeScript will be transpiled to pure javascript which has no public, private differences.
