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

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

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

你可以用下面这个例子中的TypeScript装饰器来做:

class YourClass {

    @Singleton static singleton() {}

}

function Singleton(target, name, descriptor) {
    var instance;
    descriptor.value = () => {
        if(!instance) instance = new target;
        return instance;
    };
}

然后你像这样使用你的单例:

var myInstance = YourClass.singleton();

在撰写本文时，JavaScript引擎中还没有装饰器。你需要确保你的JavaScript运行时实际上启用了装饰器，或者使用像Babel和TypeScript这样的编译器。

还要注意的是，单例实例是“惰性”创建的，也就是说，只有当你第一次使用它时才会创建它。

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");
}

对我来说，最干净的方法是:

const singleton = new class {
    name = "foo"
    constructor() {
        console.log(`Singleton ${this.name} constructed`)
    }
}

使用这种语法，您可以确定您的单例是并且将保持惟一的。您还可以享受类语法的甜蜜，并按预期使用它。

(注意，类字段需要节点v12+或现代浏览器。)
