How to instantiate a model in Magento 2

September 7, 2015 - Magento 2

Since Magento strictly discourages the use of ObjectManager, there are service classes for abstracting it for all scenarios. Thus, you should use factory for all models (non-injectables):

protected $pageFactory;

public function __construct(\Magento\Cms\Model\PageFactory $pageFactory)
{
   $this->pageFactory = $pageFactory;
}

public function someFunc()
{
   ...
   $page = $this->pageFactory->create();
   ...
}

protected $pageFactory;

public function __construct(\Magento\Cms\Model\PageFactory $pageFactory)

{

$this->pageFactory = $pageFactory;

}

public function someFunc()

{

...

$page = $this->pageFactory->create();

...

}

You only have to ask a desired model’s factory in a constructor. Hence, it will be automatically generated, while you run compiler or Magento.
