Way to ng-repeat defined number of times instead of repeating over array?

Question

Is there a way to ng-repeat a defined number of times instead of always having to iterate over an array?

For example, below I want the list item to show

Angular provides filters to modify a collection. In this case the collection would be null, i.e. [], and the filter also takes arguments, as follows:

    

        
{{$index}}
    

JS:

module.filter('fixedNumber', function() {
    return function(emptyarray, number) {
        return Array(number);
    }
});

module.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.number = 5;
}]);

This method is very similar to those proposed above and isn't necessarily superior but shows the power of filters in AngularJS.
