Typescript: Property “” does not exist on type never

I am trying to access property of an object inside the same object with "this" keyword.

Example

const obj = {
  a: "1",
  b: "2",
  c: this.b,
};

But when I do so, TypeScript gives the error:

Property "" does not exist on type never.

How do I resolve this?

An object can not self reference like that. – epascarello Jan 18 '23 at 20:50
Use a class or a function to define your object, or assign `c` as a getter. – pilchard Jan 18 '23 at 20:55
An object in JavaScript/typescript doesn't mean the same thing as an object in object oriented languages. `this` will refer to the class or function instance that the code is in – ShamPooSham Jan 18 '23 at 21:05
