SSR for react-button fails due to usage of HTMLElement

Hello there

SSR for @material/react-button currently fails with

if (matchesMethod in HTMLElementPrototype) {
                      ^
TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'matches' in undefined

Here is a minimal reproduction of this — https://github.com/sidharthachatterjee/mdc-ssr-test

AH - sorry for not answer that part…I’m working on converting the components over to the new release (v1.0.0), which will fix this issue. I’m not sure how long this will take me as I have. The next 2 releases are 3/19 and 4/16. I anticipate being finished with it before 4/16, but can’t guarantee it will be done by 3/19. I know this is a popular issue so I think I could either move the 3/19 release or do another release after 3/19 – I will have to talk to the team about this one.

You can track the progress of all components being updated here: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web-react/issues/697

@julien1619 Just want to set expectations – Next release for MDC Web is on March 4th, it’ll be out then. Thanks again for fixing this issue!

We will also then need to update MDC React’s Button component, but there are no breaking changes that I’m aware of, so this should basically just be a package.json bump.
