Repeat HTML element multiple times using ngFor based on a number

You could use the following:

@Component({
  (...)
  template: `
    <div *ngFor="let i of Arr(num).fill(1)"></div>
  `
})
export class SomeComponent {
  Arr = Array; //Array type captured in a variable
  num:number = 20;
}

Or implement a custom pipe:

import {PipeTransform, Pipe} from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
  name: 'fill'
})
export class FillPipe implements PipeTransform {
  transform(value) {
    return (new Array(value)).fill(1);
  }
}

@Component({
  (...)
  template: `
    <div *ngFor="let i of num | fill"></div>
  `,
  pipes: [ FillPipe ]
})
export class SomeComponent {
  arr:Array;
  num:number = 20;
}

<ng-container *ngFor="let _ of [].constructor(20)">🐱</ng-container>
