tiny-once v1.0.0

Run Function Only Once

An implementation of a wrapper to execute a function only once that is really tiny and will work on the majority of use cases.

Install

npm install tiny-once

Usage

Whenever you have a function that must be run only once, you can wrap that function with tiny-once as follows:

const once = require('tiny-once')

function mustBeRunOnlyOnce() {
  // code here...
}

const wrapped = once(mustBeRunOnlyOnce)

wrapped() // executes mustBeRunOnlyOnce
wrapped() // does nothing
wrapped() // does nothing either!

You should also be able to use the module in the browser through browserify or webpack!

API

once(fn[, options])

• fn is the function that shall be run only once.
• options is an optional object with the following properties.
  • context is the object used as this when calling fn.
  • cached is a boolean flag that makes the calls to the wrapped function to return the original call return value instead of doing nothing when fn is called again.
