# define-lazy-prop
> Define a [lazily evaluated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation) 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
```js
import defineLazyProperty from 'define-lazy-prop';
const unicorn = {
// …
};
defineLazyProperty(unicorn, 'rainbow', () => expensiveComputation());
app.on('user-action', () => {
doSomething(unicorn.rainbow);
});
```
## API
### defineLazyProperty(object, propertyName, valueGetter)
#### object
Type: `object`
Object to add the property to.
#### propertyName
Type: `string`
Name of the property to add.
#### valueGetter
Type: `Function`
Called the first time `propertyName` is accessed. Expected to return a value.
