Answer 1

You could use the JS's filter method on the array to only use the items that apply to your condition.

---
const items = ["Dog", "Cat", "Platypus"];
---
<ul>
  {items.filter(item => item === "Dog").map(item => (
    <li>{item}</li>
  ))}
</ul>

Another way would be to use nested conditional rendering, which is not ideal nor very appealing to the eye.

---
const items = ["Dog", "Cat", "Platypus"];
---
<ul>
  {items.map(item => (
    {item === "Dog" && <li>{item}</li>}
  ))}
</ul>
