Equivalent to "viewDidLayoutSubviews" that is only called once?

Question

I am searching for a alternative for viewDidLayoutSubviews that is only called once.

I use this code to move the login out of the view:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    username_input.center.x -= view.bounds.width
    password_input.center.x -= view.bounds.width
    login_button.center.x -= view.bounds.width
}

I need to do this once, so that I can then move it in with a animation when viewDidAppear. This all worked great till I split my View into different subviews and now the function is called multiple times. I could't find any equivalent functions to this that is only called once.

Define a boolean that turns to false the first time viewDidLayoutSubviews executes. I did this many times and it works just fine.

fileprivate var firstLayoutSubviewsTime = true

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    if firstLayoutSubviewsTime {
        firstLayoutSubviewsTime = false

        [...]
    }
}
