## Key Concepts

- **Constructor**: Receives component, props, and options to mount overlays
- **Deferred**: Promise-like object with `confirm` and `cancel` methods for external control
- **Mount Options**: Configuration for container, ID, index, and deferred instance
- **Lifecycle**: Components are destroyed after `duration` ends when deferred resolves/rejects
- **Imperative Usage**: `defineOverlay` and `renderOverlay` for callback-based invocation
- **Declarative Usage**: Components can be used in templates/JSX with props
- **Provider Pattern**: `OverlaysProvider` for context inheritance
- **Dual Mode Support**: Components work in both imperative and declarative modes
