ES6 Singleton example. Use: import Singleton from 'Singleton'; let instance = Singleton.instance;

Singleton.js

'use strict';

let singleton = Symbol();
let singletonEnforcer = Symbol();

class Singleton {

    /**
     * @param enforcer
     */
    constructor(enforcer) {
        if (enforcer !== singletonEnforcer) {
            throw "Cannot construct singleton"
        }
    }

    /**
     * @returns Singleton
     */
    static get instance() {
        if (!this[singleton]) {
            this[singleton] = new Singleton(singletonEnforcer);
        }
        return this[singleton];
    }

}

export default Singleton;

@schankam, I'll have to check Babel out. I tried using some other ES6 transpiler once; I don't remember what it was called, but it didn't work out so well.

@schankam, @mrme44 thanks for yours comments! I used this with Babel. Works fine!

If I understand CommonJS + the browser implementations correctly, the output of a module is cached, so export default new MyClass() will result in something that behaves as a singleton (only a single instance of this class will ever exist per process/client depending on env it's running in).

@StevenLangbroek export default new MyClass() pattern is using in ReactJS dispacher which is a single component for a ReactJS app. I think, you are correct about it.
