This post demonstrates how to create static class members similar to that of Java. We use Kotlin 1.1 here
JavaScript Static Properties and Methods
In JavaScript Object Creation and Object Methods and Properties, we talked about methods and properties that are tied to an object. Without an object, these properties are unusable and inaccessible to other codes. There is another type of members – static methods and properties. These are only accessible via the class itself. These are even inaccessible if referenced via objects.
