### Description

A dimming overlay component that provides a semi-transparent backdrop over page content. Automatically integrates with browser navigation to manage dimmer state during back/forward actions. Commonly used to indicate loading states, modal overlays, or to draw attention to specific UI elements.

### Basic Usage

Example :

    <eui-dimmer [isDimmerActive]="isLoading"></eui-dimmer>

### With Loading State

Example :

    // Component
    isLoading = false;

    loadData(): void {
      this.isLoading = true;
      this.dataService.fetch().subscribe(() => {
        this.isLoading = false;
      });
    }

    // Template
    <eui-dimmer [isDimmerActive]="isLoading"></eui-dimmer>
    <button (click)="loadData()">Load Data</button>

### Accessibility

- Dimmer does not trap focus or block interaction by itself
- Should be combined with modal dialogs or loading indicators for proper accessibility
- Consider adding `aria-busy="true"` to parent container when dimmer is active
- Ensure keyboard users can still navigate when dimmer is visible

### Notes

- Automatically deactivates on browser back button navigation
- Integrates with `EuiAppShellService` for centralized state management
- Does not prevent user interaction - use with modal components for blocking behavior
- Typically placed at root level of application for full-page coverage
- CSS class `eui-dimmer--active` applied when active for custom styling
