The modal component can be used to overlay an area of the screen which can contain a prompt, dialog or interaction.

On p-modal set display to display:flex or display:none to toggle the visibility of the modal.

The element that launches a given modal should include a trailing ellipsis, e.g. "Launch modal…". This is a convention used to indicate that the element launches a dialog.

Optional footer element with a p-modal__footer class name can be added to the modal dialog to provide additional options.
