Package description
The @tootallnate/once package is designed to ensure a given function can only be called once. It is particularly useful in scenarios where you want to prevent duplicate execution of event handlers or other functions that should only run a single time during the lifecycle of an application.
Ensuring a function is only called once
This feature allows you to wrap any function with `once` to ensure it can only be executed a single time. Subsequent calls to the wrapped function will have no effect, preventing duplicate execution.
const once = require('@tootallnate/once');
function myFunction() {
console.log('This will only be logged once.');
}
const wrappedFunction = once(myFunction);
wrappedFunction(); // Logs: 'This will only be logged once.'
wrappedFunction(); // Does nothing on subsequent calls.
The 'once' package offers similar functionality to @tootallnate/once by ensuring a function can only be executed once. It's a widely used package for handling one-time events or operations. The main difference lies in their implementation and possibly the API surface, but both aim to solve the same problem of preventing duplicate function execution.
Part of the Lodash library, lodash.once provides a utility function to ensure a given function can only be called once. While it offers similar functionality to @tootallnate/once, it comes as part of the larger Lodash utility library, which includes a wide range of functions for different purposes. This might be preferable for projects already using Lodash for other utilities.
