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.

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

matchProperty('Script')
// → 'Script'

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