unicode-match-property-ecmascript

unicode-match-property-ecmascript matches a given Unicode property or property alias to its canonical property name without applying loose matching per the algorithm used for RegExp Unicode property escapes in ECMAScript. Consider it a strict alternative to loose matching.

# Installation

To use unicode-match-property-ecmascript programmatically, install it as a dependency via npm:

$ npm install unicode-match-property-ecmascript

Then, `require` it:

const matchProperty = require('unicode-match-property-ecmascript');

# API

This module exports a single function named `matchProperty`.

## <tt>matchProperty(value)</tt>

This function takes a string `value` and attempts to match it to a canonical Unicode property name. If there’s a match, it returns the canonical property name. Otherwise, it throws an exception.

// Find the canonical property name:
matchProperty('sc')
// → 'Script'
matchProperty('Script')
// → 'Script'
matchProperty('script') // Note: incorrect casing.
// → throws
