Can you double check that the 'friends' module has all the functions
('first_name', 'last_name', and 'picture')? Otherwise the code looks
good I think.
Btw, you should consider instead of passing the 'Friend' object to the
view to pass a function instead that lets the view indirectly access
the Friend object's field. E.g. instead of returning from the
controller function
{data, Friend}
return
{data, fun(Field) -> erlydb_base:field_to_iolist(Friend:Field()) end}
(field_to_iolist() knows how to convert erlydb field values to iolists).
Then, in the view, you can have snippets such as
<%@ show(Friend) %>name: <% Friend(name) %>
which is nicer I think than the original style.
