The Kendo UI for Vue Labels package delivers components for adding hints, error messages and labelling form editors.

The Labels components are part of the Kendo UI for Vue library which provides Kendo UI for Vue components for the Vue ecosystem and are available under the [kendo-vue-labels NPM package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@progress/kendo-vue-labels).

  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-vue-labels@latest/dist/cdn/js/kendo-vue-labels.js"></script>
```
