对我来说，最简单/最干净的也意味着简单地理解，没有花哨的东西，就像Java版本的讨论中讨论的那样:

在Java中实现单例模式的有效方法是什么?

从我的角度来看，最简单/最干净的答案是:

Jonathan的回答是:在Java中实现单例模式的有效方法是什么?

它只能部分地翻译成JavaScript。JavaScript中的一些区别是:

构造函数不能是私有的 类不能有声明的字段

但考虑到最新的ECMA语法，有可能接近:

作为JavaScript类示例的单例模式

 class Singleton {

  constructor(field1,field2) {
    this.field1=field1;
    this.field2=field2;
    Singleton.instance=this;
  }

  static getInstance() {
    if (!Singleton.instance) {
      Singleton.instance=new Singleton('DefaultField1','DefaultField2');
    }
    return Singleton.instance;
  }
}

示例使用

console.log(Singleton.getInstance().field1);
console.log(Singleton.getInstance().field2);

例子的结果

DefaultField1
DefaultField2

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;
        }
    };
};

使用ES6类和私有静态字段。调用Singleton类的新实例将返回相同的实例。实例变量也是私有的，不能在类外部访问。

class Singleton {
  // # is a new Javascript feature that denotes private
  static #instance;

  constructor() {
    if (!Singleton.#instance) {
      Singleton.#instance = this
    } 
    return Singleton.#instance
  }

  get() {
    return Singleton.#instance;
  }
}

const a = new Singleton();
const b = new Singleton();
console.log(a.get() === b.get()) // true
console.log(Singleton.instance === undefined) // true

class Singelton {
    static #instance;

    #testValue;

    constructor() {
        if (Singelton.#instance instanceof Singelton) {
            return Singelton.#instance;
        }

        Singelton.#instance = this;
        return Singelton.#instance;
    }

    get testValue() {
        return this.#testValue;
    }

    set testValue(value) {
        this.#testValue = value;
    }
}

测试:

let x = new Singelton();
x.testValue = 123;

let y = new Singelton();

console.log({isSingelton: x === y, testValueFromY: y.testValue});
