import/export classes on javascript

I’m exporting a class into my main code, But I’m not able to use any function of it. Including my singleton pattern function to instance it.

index.js :

import __system from '../crud-js/system.js';

const s = __system.getInstance();

system.js :

export default  class system{

motoboys = [];
clientes = [];
static INSTANCE = new system();
constructor() {
    
}

getInstance(){
    return INSTANCE;
}

error :

const s = __system.getInstance();
                   ^

TypeError: __system.getInstance is not a function

Answer

getInstance is written as an instance method in your class, but you are trying to call it as a static method.

Instead do this:

static get instance() {
    return system.INSTANCE;
}

and use it like this:

const s = __system.instance;
