Import template from separate html file in polymer 3

Question

Instead of return "HTML CONTENT"; I have a separate html file and I want to import it to my js file to return the content of it but import template from '/m-chip.html"; does not work.

element.js

import {Element as PolymerElement} from '../node_modules/@polymer/polymer/polymer-element.js';
import template from '/m-chip.html';
export class Mchip extends PolymerElement{
    static get template() {
        return template;
    } 
    constructor() {
        super();
    }
} 
customElements.define("m-chip" ,Mchip)

m-chip.html

<style>
...
</style>

<div>...</div>

How can I achieve this without jquery and plain js?

Well importing html files is not something that javascript will understand at the moment. However you can build your project with webpack and add html-loader https://github.com/webpack-contrib/html-loader that specify how to treat your html import inside javascript.
