Wonderful book, thank you. So reading the book, if I put the code for the mySingleton class into a file on its own, call it single.js. In my main.js, I add that with a require statement, such as var singleton = require('./.single); when I say, singleton.getInstance(), I get a compile error saying singleton does not have a getInstance function...
Do I have to add an export to the single.js file I created or what am I missing... The code is as follows: var mySingleton = (function() { var instance; function init() { var privateRandomNumber = Math.random(); return { publicMethod : function() { console.log("The public can see me!"); }, publicProperty : "I am also public", getRandomNumber : function() { return privateRandomNumber; }, getInstance : function() { if (!instance) { instance = init(); } return instance; } }; }; return { getInstance : function() { if (!instance) { instance = init(); } return instance; } }; })(); Thanks for the help.
