DEPRECATION NOTICE

matchesSelector helper
matches/matchesSelector is pretty hot 🔥, but has vendor-prefix baggage 👜 👝. This helper function takes care of that, without polyfilling or augmenting Element.prototype.

// for example
matchesSelector( myElem, 'div.my-hawt-selector' );Install
Download matches-selector.js
Install with Bower: bower install matches-selector
Install with npm: npm install desandro-matches-selector
Browser support

Use matchesSelector v1 for IE8 and IE9 support.
