I'm trying to split a large class into smaller composable classes using class delegation. The smaller classes still need access to a component or function in the main class though. I want to do something like class SomeClass : ApiX by ApiXImpl(::send) But the object doesn't exist yet so ::send doesn't work. Is there a way to accomplish this or do I need to abandon class delegation and just manually wrap all the calls?

It seems to be only Kotlin FE limitation. But you can workaround it by creating another class

interface Bar {
    fun bar()
}

class BarImpl(val commonData: CommonData): Bar {
    override fun bar() {
        println("Calling bar: ${commonData.value}")
    }
}

class CommonData(val value: Int)

class Foo(val commonData: CommonData): Bar by BarImpl(commonData)

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val foo = Foo(CommonData(42))
    foo.bar()
}
