Unable to initiate model object using variable classname in Yii2

I want to initiate a model object using a variable model class. 

        $model = new Role();
//      This works

        $className = "Role";
        $model = new $className();
//      This is not working
//      PHP Fatal Error – yii\base\ErrorException
//      Class 'Role' not found

Any help will be appreciated.

That means class Role (\Role) simply does not exist in root namespace.

You should use full class name with namespace, for example:

$className = 'app\models\Role';
$model = new $className();

You can get full class of any object that extended from yii\base\Object with static className() method:

use app\models\Role;

$model = new Role::className();
