Block field to referene a view I am struggling to find a way for a custom block type of mine to reference a view. Basically I want a field of the block to show some of the newest articles.

Using the entity reference field and an entity reference view I must select the articles to show manually. 

Is there a simple way to use the entity reference field to render the contents of a view or a view block? Or do I need to code it myself?
Thanks in advance.
You can use https://www.drupal.org/project/viewfield to reference views and even pass arguments.
