Subscribing to query string parameters in Angular

Question

I've seen quite a few examples of subscribing to query string parameters in Angular 2+ but I can't seem to get it to work

e.g. How get query params from url in angular2?

Here is my code:

import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router';
...
export class MyComponent implements OnInit,OnDestroy {
  private a: boolean = true;
  private b: boolean = true;

  constructor(route: ActivatedRoute)  {
  ...

  ngOnInit(): void {    
    this.route.queryParams.subscribe((queryParams:any) => {
      this.a = queryParams.a;
      this.b = queryParams.b;
     });

The problem I have is that this does not appear to refer to my component to setting a and b which I want to use to drive *ngIf statements does not work.

What am I doing wrong?

The below code is for Angular 5.

import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router';
...
export class MyComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  private a: boolean;
  private b: boolean;

  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute)  {
  this.a = true;
  this.b = true;
  ...
  }

  ngOnInit(): void {    
    this.route.queryParams.subscribe(queryParams => {
      this.a = queryParams['a'];
      this.b = queryParams['b'];
  });

Could you try and check if it works?
