The addEventListener accepts a third argument called options. Using it you can configure the listener so that it is automatically removed after its first call:
.addEventListener('click',
() => alert('Event will be called just ONCE!'),
{once: true}
);Here is a full working demo:
See the Pen

on CodePen.
Check out the full documentation for the options parameter here.
By the way, did you know you can use an object instead of the callback function in addEventListener?
