onetime

Ensure a function is only called once

When called multiple times it will return the return value from the first call.

Unlike the module once, this one isn't naughty extending Function.prototype.

Install

$ npm install --save onetime

Usage

let i = 0;

const foo = onetime(() => i++);

foo(); //=> 0
foo(); //=> 0
foo(); //=> 0

const foo = onetime(() => {}, {throw: true});

foo();

foo();
//=> Error: Function `foo` can only be called once
