Re: How To / Example of OO Inheritance for CakePHP 3

I have done the tutorials. I posted because it is not totally clear. Reading the docs has let me to believe there should be a model for every database table. but if i would do that i would end up with a model for Customer and a model for Manager both containing the , more or less, same fields and the same method. That seems strange to me and that is why i posted the question. Sometimes things just get more clear with a simple example. 

so to rephrase: if somebody would come to you with this specific UML how would you create this setup using CakePHP.

how would one create a CakePHP3 app and what database tabels would i need to create an app that uses inheritance.

for example fictional setup:

[Person] <--- [Customer]

[Person]<--- [Manager]

All Persons have "name". Customer has "order_amount". Manager has "sales_total". 

Person has a method "getName()" , which is avavailable through inheritance in Customer and manager.

Person is the parent class and Customer and manager are the child-classes.

How would i implement this in CakePHP?

I could create a customer and manager database table and bake this to two models. but that would mean that the getName() function would be implemented in both classes. 

Could somebody help me grasp this in cakephp? thanks.
