getCurrentItem() doesn't seem to work

Current User is now a defunct method of getting data from a database. I had actually spent 12 hours the other day figuring it all out (partly because Promises were still a mystery to me). The new way to get this data is the get() function:

import wixData from 'wix-data';

// ...

wixData.get("database", "elementid")
  .then( (results) => {
    let firstname = results.title; 
    let lastname = results.lastName; 
    //________________________________ 
    $w("#text63").text=firstName+ " " +lastName+ " - Viewer" ;
    //Do all of your work with these variables here. 
    //_________________________________

  } )
  .catch( (err) => {
    let errorMsg = err;
  } );
