Pass instance of model in method parameter

Question

I am trying to create a common class for models, where I am passing the model instance to my separate parameter

class Custom
{

    private $model;

    public function getAll()
    {

        return $this->model->get();
    }

    public function  setModel(Model $model)
    {

        $this->model=$model;

    }
}

and my controller I have

$customModel=new Custom();
$customModel->setModel(Branch::class);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($customModel->getAll());

and also I tried

$response=$this->customDatatable->setModel(Branch::class)->getAll();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($response->toArray());

but I got the following Error

Argument 1 passed to App\Helpers\Custom::setModel() must be an instance of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model, string given, called

Branch::class is a class constant that returns the class name as a string, as the error message suggests. Perhaps you're looking to pass new Branch instead.

I don't know, I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish.
