# onetime [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/onetime.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/onetime)
|
||
|
|
||
|
> Only call a function once
|
||
|
|
||
|
When called multiple times it will return the return value from the first call.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*Unlike the module [once](https://github.com/isaacs/once), this one isn't naughty extending `Function.prototype`.*
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
$ npm install --save onetime
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
let i = 0;
|
||
|
|
||
|
const foo = onetime(() => i++);
|
||
|
|
||
|
foo(); //=> 0
|
||
|
foo(); //=> 0
|
||
|
foo(); //=> 0
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
