# unicode-match-property-ecmascript [](https://travis-ci.org/mathiasbynens/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
|
||
```
