The component has the following HTML structure:

<button type="button"> Optional

The trigger button to open the dialog (using the native showModal() method).

<dialog class="dialog" id="{ DIALOG_ID }">

Wraps the whole component and acts as the backdrop. It can also have the following attributes:

aria-labelledby="{ TITLE_ID }": linked to by the aria-labelledby attribute of the <dialog>.
aria-describedby="{ DESCRIPTION_ID }": linked to by the aria-describedby attribute of the <dialog>.
onclick: closes the dialog when the backdrop is clicked.

<article>

Wraps the content of the dialog. It includes an onclick attribute to prevent from closing the dialog if we have an onclick event on <dialog>.

<header>

<h2>: The title of the dialog, must have an id if you use the aria-labelledby attribute on the <dialog>.
<p> Optional: The description of the dialog, must have an id if you use the aria-describedby attribute on the <dialog>.

<section> Optional

For the content.

<footer> Optional

Usually contains actions.

<button type="button" onclick="this.closest('dialog').close()"> Optional
