# onetime [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/sindresorhus/onetime.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/github/sindresorhus/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](https://github.com/isaacs/once), this one isn't naughty and extending `Function.prototype`.*
## Install
```
$ npm install onetime
```
## Usage
```js
const onetime = require('onetime');
let i = 0;
const foo = onetime(() => ++i);
foo(); //=> 1
foo(); //=> 1
foo(); //=> 1
onetime.callCount(foo); //=> 3
```
```js
const onetime = require('onetime');
const foo = onetime(() => {}, {throw: true});
foo();
foo();
//=> Error: Function `foo` can only be called once
```
