How to sleep in for loop

Question

How do I make a 5 second delay in following code before moving to the next input element:

var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('_aj7');
for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
    inputs[i].click();
}

Answer 1

If you want to introduce a delay between actions, you need to use something like setTimeout. For example:

function f() {
  inputs[i].click();
  if (++i < inputs.length) {
    setTimeout(f, 5000);
  }
}

var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('_aj7');
var i = 0;
if (i < inputs.length) {
  f();
}
