+
+`effectOnceIf` is a helper function that allows you to create an effect that will be executed only once if a certain condition occurs.
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+@Component({})
+class Example {
+	count = signal(0);
+
+	effectOnceIfRef = effectOnceIf(
+		// condition function: if it returns a truly value, the execution function will run
+		() => this.count() > 3,
+		// execution function: will run only once
+		(valueReturnedFromCondition, onCleanup) => {
+			console.log(
+				`triggered with value returned: ${valueReturnedFromCondition}`,
+			);
+			onCleanup(() => console.log('cleanup'));
+		},
+	);
+}
+
+// example.count.set(1);
+//    -> nothing happens
+// example.count.set(4);
+//    -> log: triggered with value returned: true
+//    -> log: cleanup
+// example.count.set(6);
+//    -> nothing happens
+```
