您可以在每次新的执行中返回相同的实例-

function Singleton() {
    // lazy 
    if (Singleton.prototype.myInstance == undefined) {
        Singleton.prototype.myInstance = { description: "I am the instance"};
    }
    return Singleton.prototype.myInstance;
}

a = new Singleton();
b = new Singleton();
console.log(a); // { description: "I am the instance"};
console.log(b); // { description: "I am the instance"};
console.log(a==b); // true

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。

您可以在每次新的执行中返回相同的实例-

function Singleton() {
    // lazy 
    if (Singleton.prototype.myInstance == undefined) {
        Singleton.prototype.myInstance = { description: "I am the instance"};
    }
    return Singleton.prototype.myInstance;
}

a = new Singleton();
b = new Singleton();
console.log(a); // { description: "I am the instance"};
console.log(b); // { description: "I am the instance"};
console.log(a==b); // true

下面是我实现单例模式的演练片段。这是我在面试过程中想到的，我觉得我应该在某个地方捕捉到这一点。

/*************************************************
 *     SINGLETON PATTERN IMPLEMENTATION          *
 *************************************************/

// Since there aren't any classes in JavaScript, every object
// is technically a singleton if you don't inherit from it
// or copy from it.
var single = {};


// Singleton Implementations
//
// Declaring as a global object...you are being judged!

var Logger = function() {
  // global_log is/will be defined in the GLOBAL scope here
  if(typeof global_log === 'undefined'){
    global_log = this;
  }
  return global_log;
};


// The below 'fix' solves the GLOABL variable problem, but
// the log_instance is publicly available and thus can be
// tampered with.
function Logger() {
  if(typeof Logger.log_instance === 'undefined') {
    Logger.log_instance = this;
  }

  return Logger.log_instance;
};


// The correct way to do it to give it a closure!

function logFactory() {
  var log_instance; // Private instance
  var _initLog = function() { // Private init method
    log_instance = 'initialized';
    console.log("logger initialized!")
  }
  return {
    getLog : function(){ // The 'privileged' method
      if(typeof log_instance === 'undefined') {
        _initLog();
      }
      return log_instance;
    }
  };
}


/***** TEST CODE ************************************************

// Using the Logger singleton
var logger = logFactory(); // Did I just give LogFactory a closure?

// Create an instance of the logger
var a = logger.getLog();

// Do some work
// Get another instance of the logger
var b = logger.getLog();

// Check if the two logger instances are same
console.log(a === b); // true
*******************************************************************/

同样可以在我的主旨页面上找到。

我认为最简单的方法是声明一个简单的对象文字:

var myInstance = {
  method1: function () {
    // ...
  },
  method2: function () {
    // ...
  }
};

如果你想在你的单例实例上有私有成员，你可以这样做:

var myInstance = (function() {
  var privateVar = '';

  function privateMethod () {
    // ...
  }

  return { // public interface
    publicMethod1: function () {
      // All private members are accessible here
    },
    publicMethod2: function () {
    }
  };
})();

这被称为模块模式，它基本上允许您通过使用闭包来封装对象上的私有成员。

如果你想阻止对单例对象的修改，你可以使用ES5 object .freeze方法冻结它。

这将使对象不可变，防止对其结构和值进行任何修改。

如果你正在使用ES6，你可以很容易地使用ES模块来表示一个单例，你甚至可以通过在模块范围内声明变量来保持私有状态:

// my-singleton.js
const somePrivateState = []

function privateFn () {
  // ...
}

export default {
  method1() {
    // ...
  },
  method2() {
    // ...
  }
}

然后你可以简单地导入单例对象来使用它:

import myInstance from './my-singleton.js'
// ...

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");
}
