How to separate web components to individual files and load them?

In the main file, use <script> to load the Javascript file x-counter.js.

In the Javascript file, use fetch() to load the HTML code x-counter.html.

In the HTML file, use <link rel="stylesheet"> to load the CSS file x-counter.css.

CSS file : x-counter.css

button, p {
    display: inline-block;
    color: dodgerblue;
}

HTML file : x-counter.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55080103/x-counter.css">
<button aria-label="decrement">-</button>
    <p>0</p>
<button aria-label="increment">+</button>

Javascript file : x-counter.js

fetch("x-counter.html")
    .then(stream => stream.text())
    .then(text => define(text));

function define(html) {
    class XCounter extends HTMLElement {
        set value(value) {
            this._value = value;
            this.valueElement.innerText = this._value;
        }

        get value() {
            return this._value;
        }

        constructor() {
            super();
            this._value = 0;

            var shadow = this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});
            shadow.innerHTML = html;

            this.valueElement = shadow.querySelector('p');
            var incrementButton = shadow.querySelectorAll('button')[1];
            var decrementButton = shadow.querySelectorAll('button')[0];

            incrementButton.onclick = () => this.value++;
            decrementButton.onclick = () => this.value--;
        }
    }

    customElements.define('x-counter', XCounter);
}

Main file : index.html

<html>
<head>
    <!-- ... -->
    <script src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55080103/x-counter.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <x-counter></x-counter>
</body>
</html>
