| # unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript [](https://travis-ci.org/mathiasbynens/unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript) |
| |
| _unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript_ offers Unicode property alias mappings in an easy-to-consume JavaScript format. It only contains the Unicode property names that are supported in [ECMAScript RegExp property escapes](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-unicode-property-escapes). |
| |
| It’s based on Unicode’s `PropertyAliases.txt`. |
| |
| ## Installation |
| |
| To use _unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript_ programmatically, install it as a dependency via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): |
| |
| ```bash |
| $ npm install unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript |
| ``` |
| |
| Then, `require` it: |
| |
| ```js |
| const propertyAliases = require('unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript'); |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| This module exports a `Map` object. The most common usage is to convert a property alias to its canonical form: |
| |
| ```js |
| propertyAliases.get('scx') |
| // → 'Script_Extensions' |
| ``` |
| |
| ## For maintainers |
| |
| ### How to publish a new release |
| |
| 1. On the `main` branch, bump the version number in `package.json`: |
| |
| ```sh |
| npm version patch -m 'Release v%s' |
| ``` |
| |
| Instead of `patch`, use `minor` or `major` [as needed](https://semver.org/). |
| |
| Note that this produces a Git commit + tag. |
| |
| 1. Push the release commit and tag: |
| |
| ```sh |
| git push && git push --tags |
| ``` |
| |
| Our CI then automatically publishes the new release to npm. |
