Christian C. Salvadó和zzzzBov的回答都给出了精彩的答案，但只是添加我自己的解释，基于我已经从PHP/Zend框架转向了沉重的Node.js开发，其中单例模式是常见的。

以下注释记录的代码基于以下需求:

函数对象的一个且只有一个实例可以被实例化 实例不是公开可用的，只能通过公共方法访问 构造函数不是公开可用的，只有在没有可用实例的情况下才可以实例化 构造函数的声明必须允许修改其原型链。这将允许构造函数从其他原型继承，并为实例提供“公共”方法

我的代码与zzzzBov的答案非常相似，除了我在构造函数中添加了一个原型链和更多的注释，这些注释应该有助于那些来自PHP或类似语言的人将传统的OOP转换为JavaScript的原型性质。它可能不是最简单的，但我相信它是最合适的。

// Declare 'Singleton' as the returned value of a self-executing anonymous function
var Singleton = (function () {
    "use strict";
    // 'instance' and 'constructor' should not be available in a "public" scope
    // here they are "private", thus available only within
    // the scope of the self-executing anonymous function
    var _instance=null;
    var _constructor = function (name) {
        this.name = name || 'default';
    }

    // Prototypes will be "public" methods available from the instance
    _constructor.prototype.getName = function () {
        return this.name;
    }

    // Using the module pattern, return a static object
    // which essentially is a list of "public static" methods
    return {
        // Because getInstance is defined within the same scope
        // it can access the "private" 'instance' and 'constructor' vars
        getInstance:function (name) {
            if (!_instance) {
                console.log('creating'); // This should only happen once
                _instance = new _constructor(name);
            }
            console.log('returning');
            return _instance;
        }
    }

})(); // Self execute

// Ensure 'instance' and 'constructor' are unavailable
// outside the scope in which they were defined
// thus making them "private" and not "public"
console.log(typeof _instance); // undefined
console.log(typeof _constructor); // undefined

// Assign instance to two different variables
var a = Singleton.getInstance('first');
var b = Singleton.getInstance('second'); // passing a name here does nothing because the single instance was already instantiated

// Ensure 'a' and 'b' are truly equal
console.log(a === b); // true

console.log(a.getName()); // "first"
console.log(b.getName()); // Also returns "first" because it's the same instance as 'a'

请注意，从技术上讲，自执行匿名函数本身就是一个单例函数，Christian C. Salvadó提供的代码很好地演示了这一点。这里唯一的问题是，当构造函数本身是匿名的时，不可能修改构造函数的原型链。

请记住，在JavaScript中，“公共”和“私有”的概念并不像在PHP或Java中那样适用。但是，通过利用JavaScript的函数作用域可用性规则，我们也达到了同样的效果。

这个知识是基于我正在学习Java，虽然Java和Javascript是不同的，但单例的概念和Java如何做到这一点是一样的。在我看来，JS的类样式本身是干净的，而不是var初始化。

class Singleton {
    // use hashtag which entails that the variable can only be accessed from self scope
    static #instance = null;
    static getInstance() {
        if (this.#instance === null) this.#instance = new Singleton();
        return this.#instance;
    }

    // some class property
    hello = 'world';

    // or initialize the variable in the constructor, depend on your preference
    constructor() {
        // this.hello = 'world';
    }

    /* you can also add parameters on the constructor & getInstance
     * e.g. 
     * static getInstance(param1, param2) {...new Singleton(param1, param2)}
     * constructor(param1, param2) {...}
     */

}




// this is the same code for java and normal way for singleton for class
// just use static so you can get instance


// testing the singleton
var s1,s2;
s1 = Singleton.getInstance();
s2 = Singleton.getInstance();

// you cannot access the property, immediately
if (Singleton.hello === undefined) console.log('getInstance so you can access this');

console.log(s1.hello);
// result: "world"

console.log(s2.hello);
// result: "world"


// set the value of Singleton object
s2.hello = "hi";
    console.log(s1.hello);
    // result: "hi"

    console.log(s2.hello);
    // result: "hi"
// this is just an evidence which means that they are the same even in property level

if (s1 === s2) console.log("S1 & S2 is the same object");
// result: "S1 & S2 is the same object"

// don't use something like `var s1 = new Singleton();`
// this will defeat your purpose of just (1 object), one instance of class

关键是要理解闭包背后的重要性。因此，在闭包的帮助下，即使在内部函数内部的属性也将是私有的。

var Singleton = function () {
    var instance;

    function init() {

       function privateMethod() {
           console.log("private via closure");
       }

       var privateVariable = "Private Property";

       var privateRandomNumber = Math.random(); // This is also private

       return {
           getRandomNumber: function () {  // Access via getter in init call
               return privateRandomNumber;
           }
       };
    };

    return {
        getInstance: function () {

            if (!instance) {
                instance = init();
            }
            return instance;
        }
    };
};

在Node.js版本6中工作:

class Foo {
  constructor(msg) {

    if (Foo.singleton) {
      return Foo.singleton;
    }

    this.msg = msg;
    Foo.singleton = this;
    return Foo.singleton;
  }
}

我们测试:

const f = new Foo('blah');
const d = new Foo('nope');
console.log(f); // => Foo { msg: 'blah' }
console.log(d); // => Foo { msg: 'blah' }

我需要几个单人间:

延迟初始化 初始参数

这就是我想到的:

createSingleton ('a', 'add', [1, 2]);
console.log(a);

function createSingleton (name, construct, args) {
    window[name] = {};
    window[construct].apply(window[name], args);
    window[construct] = null;
}

function add (a, b) {
    this.a = a;
    this.b = b;
    this.sum = a + b;
}

args必须是Array，所以如果你有空变量，只需要传入[] 我在函数中使用了window对象，但我本可以传入一个参数来创建自己的作用域 name和构造参数只是字符串，以便window[]工作，但有一些简单的类型检查，window.name和window.name。构造也是可能的。

function Unicode()
{
  var i = 0, unicode = {}, zero_padding = "0000", max = 9999;

  // Loop through code points
  while (i < max) {
    // Convert decimal to hex value, find the character,
    // and then pad zeroes to the code point
    unicode[String.fromCharCode(parseInt(i, 16))] = ("u" + zero_padding + i).substr(-4);
    i = i + 1;
  }

  // Replace this function with the resulting lookup table
  Unicode = unicode;
}

// Usage
Unicode();

// Lookup
Unicode["%"]; // Returns 0025
