password and confirm password field validation angular2 reactive forms

Question

I need to check whether password and confirm password fields have same value using reactive form angular2. I did see a lot of answers on the same here,Angular 2 form validating for repeat password ,Comparing fields in validator with angular2, but none seemed to work for me.Can someone please help."this" is undefined in my validate function :( . Sharing my code,

this.addEditUserForm = this.builder.group({
            firstName: ['', Validators.required],
            lastName: ['', Validators.required],
            title: ['', Validators.required],
            email: ['', Validators.required],
            password: ['', Validators.required],
            confirmPass: ['', [Validators.required, this.validatePasswordConfirmation]]
        });
validatePasswordConfirmation(group: FormGroup): any{
        let valid = true;
        // if (this.addEditUserForm.controls.password != this.addEditUserForm.controls.confirmPass) {
        //     valid = false;
        //     this.addEditUserForm.controls.confirmPass.setErrors({validatePasswordConfirmation: true});
        // }
        return valid;
    }

This is what eventually worked for me -

this.addEditUserForm = this.builder.group({
            firstName: ['', Validators.required],
            lastName: ['', Validators.required],
            title: ['', Validators.required],
            email: ['', Validators.required],
            password: ['', Validators.required],
            confirmPass: ['', Validators.required]
        },{validator: this.checkIfMatchingPasswords('password', 'confirmPass')});



checkIfMatchingPasswords(passwordKey: string, passwordConfirmationKey: string) {
          return (group: FormGroup) => {
            let passwordInput = group.controls[passwordKey],
                passwordConfirmationInput = group.controls[passwordConfirmationKey];
            if (passwordInput.value !== passwordConfirmationInput.value) {
              return passwordConfirmationInput.setErrors({notEquivalent: true})
            }
            else {
                return passwordConfirmationInput.setErrors(null);
            }
          }
        }
