The wrapperElement field in the UI class was incorrectly declared as public, which violates encapsulation principles and exposes internal implementation details.

This PR addresses the issue by:

  1. Making the field private: Changed public Element wrapperElement; to private Element wrapperElement;
  2. Adding a public getter: Created public Element getWrapperElement() method with proper JavaDoc documentation
  3. Updating all external usages: Modified external classes to use the getter method instead of direct field access

Changes Made

  • UI.java: Field made private and getter method added
  • UIInternalUpdater.java: Updated to use ui.getWrapperElement()
  • BeforeLeaveEvent.java: Updated 4 usages to use the getter method
  • JavaScriptBootstrapUITest.java: Updated 26 test usages to use the getter method

Benefits

  • Proper encapsulation: The field is now private with controlled access
  • API compatibility: External code can still access the wrapper element via the public getter
  • Internal consistency: UI class internal usage remains unchanged
  • Zero breaking changes: All existing functionality is preserved

The wrapperElement is used as a container for route components when client-side routing is enabled, and this refactoring ensures it follows proper object-oriented design principles while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Fixes #22008.
