What's is the equivalent of to jQuery .one() in AngularJS?

Question

How can you created an event emitter that is only triggered once and self-destructs after that. An equivalent to jQuery's .one() function?

Answer 1

You actually have one() available to you in AngularJS via the jqLite library. jsLite is an abridged version of jQuery that is the minimum needed to power Angular.

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element

var e = angular.element(document.querySelector('.myDivClass'));

    e.one('click', function(){
        alert("Only works once!");
    });
