mdbreact modal applies a class 'modal-open' to body tag even if the modal is not open yet

Question

I am using mdbreact modal in my react application but facing some issue. I try to include the modal component in my page, but the modal is not open yet, inspite of that it is applying a class 'modal-open' to the body tag which stops body from scrolling.

My code is as follows:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Modal, ModalBody, ModalHeader, ModalFooter } from 'mdbreact';

class GroupContainer extends Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = {
            modal: false,
        }
    }

    renderModal = () => {
        this.setState({
            modal: true,
        })
    }

    closeModal = () => {
        this.setstate({
            modal: false,
        })
    }

    render() { 
        return (
        <div>
             <Modal isOpen={this.state.modal} toggle={() => this.renderModal()} fullHeight position="bottom">
              test
            </Modal>

        </div>
        )
    }
};


export default GroupContainer;

The state 'modal' is false still the modal-open class is getting applied. It must get applied only when the state is true. I will be making the state as true on click of an external button in order to show this modal. Any clue?

Each of the imports are MDB(name) ex MDBModal, MDBModalBody. Also for toggling you don't want two functions because your code will get confused. Example of a modal toggle

toggle = () => {
  this.setState({
    modal: !this.state.modal
  })
}

//for multiple modals
//modal1
//modal2
//modal3

toggle = nr => () => {
  let modalNumber = 'modal' + nr;
  this.setState({
    [modalNumber]: !this.state[modalNumber]
  })
}
