[Button] should toggle with state function

[jcheron]

It seems that toggle button is broken since 2.3.1 version,
all was good for toggle buttons in 2.3.0

Steps

<a class="ui toggle button">Toggle</a>
<script>$(".ui.button.toggle").state();</script>

Expected Result

a toggle button...

Actual Result

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).state is not a function
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous>

Version

Semantic ui 2.3.1 (cdnjs)
jQuery 3.3.1

Testcase

https://jsfiddle.net/jcheron/n90gcwjz/2/

Note

Version 2.3.1 available at https://semantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.min.js works, while cdn (cdnjs or cdn.jsdelivr.net) does not work.

The files are different!

In case the reason has not been resolved and for those who want an interim patch - this is because the 2.3.1 package does not have state.js and state.min.js files - just a build issue. I copied the files from 2.3.0 as a temp fix and yay all sorted.

The 2.3.2 package still does not include the state module which has disappeared since 2.3.1

This is unfortunate because semantic-ui is unusable via all cdns.
It is necessary to add the latest available version of state.js manually:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.3.0/components/state.min.js"></script>

This is still an issue with 2.4.1, starting to feel like this project might be dead. I can not believe no one else uses toggle buttons and it has been left unresolved for this long.

So since there i no longer a state.js in the components even I am not sure what there plan is for the future of the toggle button. I was able to come up with the following temp solution at least until they fix it or I find another component library.

Remove the startup call to

$(".ui.button.toggle").state();

doing this will not allow toggle buttons to work by default anymore but you can still do something like

//Button Code
$('#btnToggleButton').click(function () {
$('#btnToggleButton').removeClass('active');
//button press stuff, setting some variable that stores if it should be toggled or not
if (shouldBeToggled) {
$('#btnToggleButton').addClass('active');
}
});

I hope they fix this in the next version but if not I can at least still use the component for now using this code.
