iterating number type in express-edge? - express

Question

isn't it possible to itereate through a number type variable in express-edge? On their official docs they mentioned iteration of objects and arrays and when I tried to iterate a number type variable it didn't worked (i mean like a simple loop, will run for n times)
so basically i'm trying to impelment a pagination, my controller for this look something like this:
// get total documents in the Posts collection
const count = await Posts.countDocuments();
const tpgs = Math.ceil(count / limit);
// return response with posts, total pages, and current page
res.render("index",{
psts: posts,
totalPages: tpgs,
currentPage: page
});
and the html (with express-edge) looks something like this:
#if(totalPages > 0)
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination">
#each(p in totalPages)
#if(p == 1)
<li class="page-item disabled">
<a class="page-link" href="#" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">Previous</a>
</li>
#else
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="posts/{{ p - 1}}">Previous</a></li>
#endif
#if(p == currentPage)
<li class="page-item active" aria-current="page">
<a class="page-link" href="{{ p }}">{{ p }}</a>
</li>
#else
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="posts/{{ p }}">{{ p }}</a></li>
#endif
#if(p == totalPages)
<li class="page-item disabled">
<a class="page-link" href="posts/{{ p + 1}}">Next</a>
</li>
#else
<li class="page-item">
<a class="page-link" href="posts/{{ p + 1}}">Next</a>
</li>
#endif
#endeach
</ul>
</nav>
#endif
