# unicode-match-property-ecmascript

*unicode-match-property-ecmascript* matches a given Unicode property or [property alias](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript) to its canonical property name without applying [loose matching](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/unicode-loose-match) per the algorithm used for [RegExp Unicode property escapes in ECMAScript](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-unicode-property-escapes). Consider it a strict alternative to loose matching.

## Installation

To use *unicode-match-property-ecmascript* programmatically, install it as a dependency via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```bash
$ npm install unicode-match-property-ecmascript
```

Then, `require` it:

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

## API

This module exports a single function named `matchProperty`.

### `matchProperty(value)`

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.

```js
// Find the canonical property name:
matchProperty('sc')
// → 'Script'

matchProperty('Script')
// → 'Script'

matchProperty('script') // Note: incorrect casing.
// → throws
```
