Hi, 

As per my client requirement, I want to add the block's class name dynamically into the layout.xml file.

Is it possible in Magento 2?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @yagnik_solanki1 

According to my knowledge, you can not set a dynamic block class in layout.xml file. However, you can set it at block class which is defined in layout.xml file.

Place the below code in block class in layout.xml file:

protected function _toHtml(){
    $html = $this->getLayout()
          ->createBlock('[Namespace]\[Module]\Block\[Class]') // Here you can set dynamic class
          ->setTemplate('[Namespace]_[Module]::custom.phtml') // if require
          ->toHtml();
}

Hope it helps.

Do let me know if you need further assistance.
