Hi, could someone tell me how to use one companion object field in another one ? why I get some error like Variable 'xxx' must be initialized ? look the code below:

class CompanyResource {
    companion object {
        val allNames: Map<String, String> =
            mapOf(
                someone.first to someone.second // error: Variable 'someone' must be initialized
            )

        val someone =
            Pair<String, String>(
                "peter" , "blunt"
            )
    }
}

forward reference, i think. put someone above allNames

Class/object properties are initialized in the order they’re declared.
