Define a lazily evaluated property on an object
Useful when the value of a property is expensive to generate, so you want to delay the computation until the property is needed. For example, improving startup performance by deferring nonessential operations.
Install
$ npm install define-lazy-prop
Usage
import defineLazyProperty from 'define-lazy-prop';
const unicorn = {
// …
};
defineLazyProperty(unicorn, 'rainbow', () => expensiveComputation());
app.on('user-action', () => {
doSomething(unicorn.rainbow);
});
