ListController
        
        Adds features for working with backend lists.
    
    
 class Backend\Behaviors\ListController
extends Backend\Classes\ControllerBehaviorThis behavior is implemented in the controller like so:
public $implement = [
    \Backend\Behaviors\ListController::class,
];
public $listConfig = 'config_list.yaml';
The $listConfig property makes reference to the list configuration
values as either a YAML file, located in the controller view directory,
or directly as a PHP array.
