conditional rendering does not work in react native code example

Example 1: react native conditional rendering

class Component extends React.Component {
	const a = true
	render() {
      return (
    	<Container>
          {a == true
           ? (<Button/>)
           : null
          }
        </Container>    	
	  )
	}
}

This is staying: if a == true, render a button component. 
Otherwise render null, in other words nothing.

Example 2: react native conditional rendering

function Mailbox(props) {
  const unreadMessages = props.unreadMessages;
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Hello!</h1>
      {unreadMessages.length > 0 &&
        <h2>
          You have {unreadMessages.length} unread messages.
        </h2>
      }
    </div>
  );
}
