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

简短的回答:

由于JavaScript的非阻塞特性，JavaScript中的单例在使用时非常难看。全局变量将在整个应用程序中为您提供一个实例，而不需要所有这些回调，模块模式将内部隐藏在接口后面。参见Christian C. Salvadó的回答。

但是，既然你想要一个单胞胎……

var singleton = function(initializer) {

  var state = 'initial';
  var instance;
  var queue = [];

  var instanceReady = function(createdInstance) {
    state = 'ready';
    instance = createdInstance;
    while (callback = queue.shift()) {
      callback(instance);
    }
  };

  return function(callback) {
    if (state === 'initial') {
      state = 'waiting';
      queue.push(callback);
      initializer(instanceReady);
    } else if (state === 'waiting') {
      queue.push(callback);
    } else {
      callback(instance);
    }
  };

};

用法:

var singletonInitializer = function(instanceReady) {
  var preparedObject = {property: 'value'};
  // Calling instanceReady notifies the singleton that the instance is ready to use
  instanceReady(preparedObject);
}
var s = singleton(singletonInitializer);

// Get the instance and use it
s(function(instance) {
  instance.doSomething();
});

解释:

单例在整个应用程序中提供了不止一个实例:它们的初始化延迟到第一次使用。当您处理初始化开销很大的对象时，这确实是一个大问题。昂贵通常意味着I/O，在JavaScript中I/O总是意味着回调。

不要相信那些给出instance = singleton.getInstance()这样接口的答案，它们都没有抓住重点。

如果它们没有在实例就绪时运行回调，那么当初始化器执行I/O时，它们将不起作用。

是的，回调看起来总是比函数调用更丑，函数调用会立即返回一个对象实例。但是同样:当你执行I/O时，回调是必须的。如果你不想做任何I/O，那么在程序启动时实例化就足够便宜了。

例1，简单的初始化器:

var simpleInitializer = function(instanceReady) {
  console.log("Initializer started");
  instanceReady({property: "initial value"});
}

var simple = singleton(simpleInitializer);

console.log("Tests started. Singleton instance should not be initalized yet.");

simple(function(inst) {
  console.log("Access 1");
  console.log("Current property value: " + inst.property);
  console.log("Let's reassign this property");
  inst.property = "new value";
});
simple(function(inst) {
  console.log("Access 2");
  console.log("Current property value: " + inst.property);
});

例2，初始化I/O:

在这个例子中，setTimeout模拟了一些昂贵的I/O操作。这说明了为什么JavaScript中的单例真的需要回调。

var heavyInitializer = function(instanceReady) {
  console.log("Initializer started");
  var onTimeout = function() {
    console.log("Initializer did his heavy work");
    instanceReady({property: "initial value"});
  };
  setTimeout(onTimeout, 500);
};

var heavy = singleton(heavyInitializer);

console.log("In this example we will be trying");
console.log("to access singleton twice before it finishes initialization.");

heavy(function(inst) {
  console.log("Access 1");
  console.log("Current property value: " + inst.property);
  console.log("Let's reassign this property");
  inst.property = "new value";
});

heavy(function(inst) {
  console.log("Access 2. You can see callbacks order is preserved.");
  console.log("Current property value: " + inst.property);
});

console.log("We made it to the end of the file. Instance is not ready yet.");

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

let MySingleton = (function () {
  var _instance
  function init() {
    if(!_instance) {
      _instance = { $knew: 1 }
    }
    return _instance
  }
  let publicAPIs = {
    getInstance: function() {
      return init()
    }
  }
  // this prevents customize the MySingleton, like MySingleton.x = 1
  Object.freeze(publicAPIs) 
  // this prevents customize the MySingleton.getInstance(), like MySingleton.getInstance().x = 1
  Object.freeze(publicAPIs.getInstance())
  return publicAPIs
})();

最明确的答案应该是Addy Osmani所著的《学习JavaScript设计模式》一书。

var mySingleton = (function () { // Instance stores a reference to the singleton var instance; function init() { // Singleton // Private methods and variables function privateMethod(){ console.log( "I am private" ); } var privateVariable = "I'm also private"; var privateRandomNumber = Math.random(); return { // Public methods and variables publicMethod: function () { console.log( "The public can see me!" ); }, publicProperty: "I am also public", getRandomNumber: function() { return privateRandomNumber; } }; }; return { // Get the singleton instance if one exists // or create one if it doesn't getInstance: function () { if ( !instance ) { instance = init(); } return instance; } }; })();

简单地使用类表达式:

const singleton = new (class {
    hello() { return 'world'; }
})();

console.log(singleton.hello()); //=> world
