An extremely simple library for running 'things' exactly once. No matter how many times that 'thing' is called.

example/run_once_example.dart

import 'package:run_once/run_once.dart';

void main() async {
  /// This will print 'called 1' exactly 1 time although
  /// we call this function 10 times.
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    runOnce(() {
      print('called 1');
    });
  }

  /// This will print 'called 2' exactly 2 times as the [runOnce] simply
  /// isn't called in the same spot.
  runOnce(() {
    print('called 2');
  });
  runOnce(() {
    print('called 2');
  });

  /// This will print 'called 3' exactly 3 times although
  /// we call this function 15 times.
  /// Note the `forDuration` is exactly a [Duration] of 500 milliseconds.
  /// Using `forDuration` means for a duration of 500 milliseconds [runOnce]
  /// can only run once.
  /// So we loop 15 times in this loop and wait 100 milliseconds in each
  /// loop cycle; thus 'called 3' is printed exactly 3 times.
  for (var i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
    await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 100));

    runOnce(() {
      print('called 3');
    }, forDuration: Duration(milliseconds: 500));
  }
