How to loop React Elements for a specific amount of times?

I am trying to make a looper component so that I can loop any of its children for a specific amount of time. How can I do that?

// Looper

function Looper({ children, array }) {
    return (
      <div>
        {array.map((item) => (
          <div key={item}>{children}</div>
        ))}
      </div>
    );
  }
  

// It works, but it needs a dummy array that I don't want.

<Looper array={[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}>
    <span>Hello Guys..</span>
</Looper>

Answer

You can create an array of incrementing numbers on the fly using [...Array(times).keys()], like so:

// Looper

function Looper({ children, times }) {
    const keys = [...Array(times).keys()];
    return (
      <div>
        {keys.map((item) => (
          <div key={item}>{children}</div>
        ))}
      </div>
    );
  }
  
<Looper times={5}>
    <span>Hello Guys..</span>
</Looper>
