How to have content break to next line with flex when content reaches edge with React Native?

import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import NumberFormat from 'react-number-format';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flexWrap: 'wrap', flexDirection: 'row' }}>
      {Array(20)
        .fill()
        .map((_, i) => {
          return (
            <Text key={i} style={{ width: 50 }}>
              {i}
            </Text>
          );
        })}
    </View>
  );
