Does hidden component in react native send request to server?

Question

I wonder how react native works if component is hidden. For example in this code

{visible && <RkModalImg rkCardImg renderFooter={this._renderHeader} source={{ uri: PhotoURL }} />}

If visible variable is equal to false does it send request to server ?

In general in javascript, if you do this:

const x = b && b.name // this means if b has value execute b.names otherwaise x will be null

in your case, the component will not get rendered which means it will not execute anything(component doesn't exist).
