# unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript [![Build status](https://travis-ci.org/mathiasbynens/unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mathiasbynens/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 [the `PropertyAliases.txt` data for Unicode v12.0.0](http://unicode.org/Public/12.0.0/ucd/PropertyAliases.txt).

To use _unicode-property-aliases-ecmascript_ programmatically, install it as a dependency via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```

Then, `require` it:

```
