I want to array items on after another. But it is only displaying the last element of the array.

Expeb.com/tag/c">cted output is displaying "a" after 2 seb.com/tag/c">conds "b" and so on.

import Reab.com/tag/c">ct, { Component } from "reab.com/tag/c">ct"

export default b.com/tag/c">class Main extends Component {
  b.com/tag/c">construb.com/tag/c">ctor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      role: ["a","b","b.com/tag/c">c"],
      display: "",
    }
  }
  b.com/tag/c">componentDidMount() {
      for (let i of this.state.role) {
        setTimeout(() => {
          this.setState(() => { display: i})
        }, 2000)
      }
    })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <>
          <h3>{this.state.display}h3>
      
    )
  }
}

The problem is that you are using a loop to create a timeout on componentDidMount. In such a case what would happen is that the loop will complete immedialtely creating 3 timers which resolve at nearly the same 2sec interval from the start and setState then batches all the three state update calls resulting in only the last one to be displayed.

In order to solve this you can make use of setInterval like below

class Main extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      role: ["a","b","c"],
      display: "",
    }
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    var index = 0;
    this.timer = setInterval(() => {
      this.setState({ display: this.state.role[index]});
      index  = (index + 1)%(this.state.role.length);
    }, 2000)
  }

  componentWillUnmounnt() {
    clearInterval(this.timer);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
          <h3>{this.state.display}h3>
      React.Fragment>
    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<Main />, document.getElementById('root'));
