JarCastingonetime 
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 and extending Function.prototype.
Install
$ npm install onetime
Usage
const onetime = require('onetime');
let i = 0;
const foo = onetime(() => ++i);
foo(); //=> 1
foo(); //=> 1
foo(); //=> 1
onetime.callCount(foo); //=> 3
const onetime = require('onetime');
const foo = onetime(() => {}, {throw: true});
foo();
foo();
//=> Error: Function `foo` can only be called once
