Prerequisites

• Before opening an issue, please check the DOM standard (https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/). If it doesn't appear in this spec, it may be present in the spec for one of the other purescript-web projects. Although MDN is a great resource, it is not a suitable reference for this project.

Description

There's querySelector and querySelectorAll, but not closest despite good browser support.

The polyfills if needed

if (!Element.prototype.matches) {
  Element.prototype.matches =
    Element.prototype.msMatchesSelector ||
    Element.prototype.webkitMatchesSelector;
}

if (!Element.prototype.closest) {
  Element.prototype.closest = function(s) {
    var el = this;

    do {
      if (Element.prototype.matches.call(el, s)) return el;
      el = el.parentElement || el.parentNode;
    } while (el !== null && el.nodeType === 1);
    return null;
  };
}
