single domsjo sink - does it sit on counter on top of cabinet sides or does it need more clearance than the cabinet box itself?

We have a 24 inch sink cabinet that we are installing between a wall and dishwasher and we are using the domsjo sink - do we need to leave an inch or more between the wall and the cabinet for the sink lip? And then use a filler strip in front?
Thanks!

It's a single apron-front sink, by the way.

You need to have some countertop under the lip of the sink - it doesn't necessarily have to extend beyond that lip though. From a design standpoint, I think the top should extend past the sink, though.

I'm not a big fan of sinks at the end of a run - can you flop the DW and sink to move it more towards the center of the counter, or are you restricted by the plumbing?
