Getting Started with the Chip
This tutorial explains how to set up a basic Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Chip and highlights the major steps in the configuration of the component.
You will initialize a Chip control, configure its icons, and handle its events.
Finally, you can run the sample code in Telerik REPL and continue exploring the components.

icon="save">
</kendo-chip>
4. Add a Label
