Hi Jack,

Greetings to you!

I have written a function as per your requirement. You can use this code
  
waitingTime: null,

doInit_Helper : function(c, e, h) {
h.getTimeSheet(c, e, h);
},

getTimeSheet : function(c, e, h) {
try{

/*   Add your Code here
                          */



this.waitingTime =setTimeout($A.getCallback(() => this.getTimeSheet(c, e, h)), 50000);
}
catch (ex) {
console.log('Exception: '+ex);
}
}

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Greetings to you!

You can use setTimeout for 5 seconds which will call the same function.

Controller: 
doInit: function(component, event, helper){
   helper.autoRefresh(component);
}

Helper: 
autoRefresh:  function(component){
   var that = this;

   var action = componet.get('c.getData');
   action.setCallback(this, function(result){
       //add your code
   });

   /* enqueue action in this way  */
   $A.enqueueAction(action);
    window.setTimeout(
        $A.getCallback(function() {
            console.log('Calling');
            that.autoRefresh(component);
        }), 5000
    );
}

I hope it helps you.

Yes Jack,
As Khan Anas  described you need to write a setTimeout function in your javascript controller to autometically calling after 5 seconds.
