Once

Execute closure once!!! Once is a micro framework.

import Once

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    private var dataSource = DataSource()
    lazy var onceReloader: OnceClosure = execute_once {
        print("execute once")
        self.dataSource.reload()
    }

    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        onceReloader?()   
    }
}

Legacy...

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    private var dataSource = DataSource()
    private var callFirst = true

    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        if callFirst {
            reloadOnce()
            callFirst = falee
        }
    }

    func reloadOnce() {
        print("execute once")
        self.dataSource.reload()
    }    
}

Features

• Execute closure just once.
• Don't need to have any flags that closure called or not.
• This function doesn't capture any objects by using no-escaped closure.
  • You don't have to use [weak self], [unowned self].
• Micro library!

How to use

• 1. Import framework

import Once

• 2. Define lazy var instance.
     Note: Don't forget to write parameter: OnceClosure

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    // as closure
    lazy var onceReloader: OnceClosure = execute_once {
        print("execute once")
        self.dataSource.reload()
    }

    // or function    
    lazy var onceReloader2: OnceClosure = self.reloadOnce()

    func reloadOnce() -> OnceClosure {
        return execute_once {
            print("execute once")
            self.dataSource.reload()
        }
    }
}

• 3. Execute once closure!! (need ?)

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    // ...
    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        onceReloader?()
    }
}

Caution

Once-closure will not work anymore if it is assigned nil before executing.

import Once

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    private var dataSource = DataSource()
    lazy var onceReloader: OnceClosure = execute_once {
        print("execute once")
        self.dataSource.reload()
    }

    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        onceReloader = nil
        onceReloader?() // doesn't work.
    }
}
