Angular MatPaginator doesn`t get initialized

Question

I have 2 components. Both have mat-table and paginators and pagination is working for one component and not working for the other component though the code is similar. Below is my html:

<div class="mat-elevation-z8">
    <mat-table [dataSource]="dataSource" matSort>
        <ng-container matColumnDef="col1">
            <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef mat-sort-header> Column1 </mat-header-cell>
            <mat-cell *matCellDef="let row"> {{row.col1}} </mat-cell>
        </ng-container>

        <ng-container matColumnDef="col2">
            <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef mat-sort-header> Column2 </mat-header-cell>
            <mat-cell *matCellDef="let row"> {{row.col2}} </mat-cell>
        </ng-container>

        <!-- Different columns goes here -->

        <mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></mat-header-row>
        <mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></mat-row>
    </mat-table>

    <mat-paginator #scheduledOrdersPaginator [pageSizeOptions]="[5, 10, 20]"></mat-paginator>
</div>

And below is my code in component.ts:

dataSource: MatTableDataSource<any>;
displayedColumns = ['col1', 'col2', ... ];

@ViewChild('scheduledOrdersPaginator') paginator: MatPaginator;
@ViewChild(MatSort) sort: MatSort;

ngOnInit(): void {
    // Load data
    this.dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(somearray);
    this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator;
    this.dataSource.sort = this.sort;
}

Similar code is working for the other component and table is getting rendered with the pagination properly, no clue what's wrong with this code.

Any help would be really appreciated

I resolved a similar issue by surrounding the instantiation with a timeout. Try this :

setTimeout(() => this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator);
