Function safeGetLazy

Create and return an readonly ILazyValue instance which will cache and return the value returned by the callback function. The callback function will only be called once, multiple access of the value does not cause re-execution of the callback as the result from the first call is cached internally. If the callback throws the default value will be returned.

Example

// This does not cause the evaluation to occur
let cachedValue = safeGetLazy(() => callSomeExpensiveFunctionWhichMightThrow(), "someDefaultValue");
let theValue;

// Just checking if there is an object still does not cause the evaluation
if (cachedValue) {
    // This will cause the evaluation to occur and the result will be cached
    theValue = cachedValue.v;
}

// Accessing the value again will not cause the re-evaluation to occur, it will just return the same
// result value again.
theValue === cachedValue.v;  // true
