Let’s start integration.
First download full library from here and include jquery.matchHeight.js on page.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.matchHeight.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Here i am going to create some div element and add data-mh=”group-name”
where group-name is an arbitrary string to identify which elements should be considered as a group.

<div data-mh="my-group" class="item">My text</div>
<div data-mh="my-group" class="item">Some other text</div>
<div data-mh="my-other-group" class="item">Even more text</div>
<div data-mh="my-other-group" class="item">The last bit of text</div>

Call matchHeight() function on page to make it equal height element.

$(function() {
 $('.item').matchHeight({
    byRow: true,
    property: 'height',
    target: null,
    remove: false
  });
});

Where:
* byRow is true or false to enable row detection
* property is the CSS property name to set (e.g. ‘height’ or ‘min-height’)
* target is an optional element to use instead of the element with maximum height
* remove is true or false to remove previous bindings instead of applying new ones
