下面是一个简单的例子来解释JavaScript中的单例模式。

var Singleton = (function() {
    var instance;
    var init = function() {
        return {
            display:function() {
                alert("This is a singleton pattern demo");
            }
        };
    };
    return {
        getInstance:function(){
            if(!instance){
                alert("Singleton check");
                instance = init();
            }
            return instance;
        }
    };
})();

// In this call first display alert("Singleton check")
// and then alert("This is a singleton pattern demo");
// It means one object is created

var inst = Singleton.getInstance();
inst.display();

// In this call only display alert("This is a singleton pattern demo")
// it means second time new object is not created,
// it uses the already created object

var inst1 = Singleton.getInstance();
inst1.display();

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

我反对我的回答，看看我的另一个。

通常，模块模式(参见Christian C. Salvadó的答案)不是单例模式就足够好了。然而，单例的一个特点是它的初始化会延迟到需要对象时。模块模式缺乏这个特性。

我的命题(CoffeeScript):

window.singleton = (initializer) ->
  instance = undefined
  () ->
    return instance unless instance is undefined
    instance = initializer()

在JavaScript中编译为:

window.singleton = function(initializer) {
    var instance;
    instance = void 0;
    return function() {
        if (instance !== void 0) {
            return instance;
        }
        return instance = initializer();
    };
};

然后我可以做以下事情:

window.iAmSingleton = singleton(function() {
    /* This function should create and initialize singleton. */
    alert("creating");
    return {property1: 'value1', property2: 'value2'};
});


alert(window.iAmSingleton().property2); // "creating" will pop up; then "value2" will pop up
alert(window.iAmSingleton().property2); // "value2" will pop up but "creating" will not
window.iAmSingleton().property2 = 'new value';
alert(window.iAmSingleton().property2); // "new value" will pop up

这就是我如何使用ES6特性实现单例模式。是的，我知道这看起来不像面向对象的方法，但我发现这个方法很容易实现，而且是一种干净的实现方式。

const Singleton = (() => {
  var _instance = !_instance && new Object('Object created....');
  return () => _instance;
})();

//************************************************************************

var instance1 = Singleton();
var instance2 = Singleton();
console.log(instance1 === instance2); // true

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' }

简单的例子

class Settings {

  constructor() {
    if (Settings.instance instanceof Settings) {
      return Settings.instance;
    }
    this.settings = {
      id: Math.floor(Math.random() * 4000),
      name: "background",
    };
    Object.freeze(this.settings);
    Object.freeze(this);
    Settings.instance = this;
  }

}

var o1 = new Settings();
var o2 = new Settings();

console.dir(o1);
console.dir(o2);

if (o1 === o2) {
  console.log("Matched");
}
