Tikz Figure Drawing Animation

Question

I would like to animate a diagram I made using Tikz by parts. Basically, I want the animation to

• draw first box/node then \pause
• display text in the box then \pause
• continuously draw an arrow then \pause
• draw second box then \pause
• write text, then arrow, and so on...

I tried to apply a solution here but I can't seem to make it work for a non-simultaneous case of multiple paths. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[minimum size=1cm]
    \node[draw,rectangle] (A)                       {A};
    \node[draw,rectangle] (B)   [right=of A]        {B};
    \node[draw,rectangle] (C)   [right=of B]        {C};
    \draw[->] (A.east) -- (B.west);
    \draw[->] (B.east) -- (C.west);     
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
