title: Angular Material table throws nativeElement undefined
body: <p>I am trying to get a very very basic Material table working in Angular 8.  The component doesn't render and I find the following exception in the console logs:</p>
  <p><strong>ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'nativeElement' of undefined</strong></p>
  <p>This appears to be a common error.  Has anyone managed to resolve this?</p>
