Summary of Changes

I've added to methods to the Joomla\CMS\MVC\View\AbstractView Class:

• Added $properties to get method. If you want to also provide properties to the model method, you can use other
  parameters after the $properties and $default parameter. Until now, you could only call a method of a model with specific properties by accessing the model diretly:
  $this->getModel("Article")->getById($id)
  But now you can just use the get method:
  $this->get("ById", "Article", $id)
• Added new method getAll as a shorthand to get all Data of a Model. Until now, you could also only call a method to display all data via the model directly:
  $this->getModel("Article")->getArticles()
  Now you can just use the getAll method:
  $this->getAll("Article") -> $this->get("Articles, "Article") If you have a specific list function (e.g. getAllArticles), you can also provide a second parameter $property, otherwise the model name will automatically be transformed into a plural noun. $this->getAll("Article", "Fields")->$this->get("Fields", "Article")`
