no repeat calling Javascript

How can I make my function not to repeat the multiple calls, if multiple calls were made in mins? 

var s = 1; 
function foo(x) {
  if (s === 1) {
    console.log('done');
    setTimeout(function(){
      s =1; 
    }, 10000);
  } else {
    s = 2; 
    console.log('no more repeat calling');

  }
}

foo(1); 
foo(2);

I am expecting the result - 

done 
no more repeat calling

Try this:

var s = 1; 
function foo(x) {
    if (s === 1) {
        s = 0; 
        console.log('done');
        setTimeout(function(){
            s = 1; 
        }, 10000);
    } else {
        console.log('no more repeat calling');
    } 
}
foo(1); foo(2);foo(3);

Because s is never being set to 2. It looks like you meant to do that in the if block, rather than the else block:

if (s === 1) {
    console.log('done');
    s = 2;  // <--- here
    setTimeout(function(){
        s = 1; 
    }, 10000);
} else {
    console.log('no more repeat calling');
}

That way the first call will update the s flag, so subsequent calls will go to the else block.
