## README

# Closest

Similar to jQuery's `$.fn.closest` and `$.fn.parents`.
Finds the closest parent that matches a selector.

## API

### closest(element, selector, scope)

* `element` - will check this elements parents
* `selector` - CSS selector to match parents
* `scope` - check this element and within. By default, `document.documentElement`.

Example:

```js
closest(document.body, 'html') === document.documentElement
closest(document.body, 'body') === document.body
closest(document.documentElement, 'body') == null
```
