How to use the swiper 9 pagination with Angular

I'm actually migrating to swiper 9.

I had already faced some problems and asked it here about the swiper 9 migration

Some of the answers help me moving forward. But now I'm trying to use the pagination

I used to import the pagination like follow

import SwiperCore, { Pagination, Swiper } from 'swiper'

// ...

  @ViewChild('swiperRef', { static: true })
  private _swiperRef: ElementRef | undefined
  swiper?: Swiper

// ...

  ngOnInit(): void {
    SwiperCore.use([Pagination])

    this.swiper = this._swiperRef.nativeElement.swiper
  }

But the pagination isn't working.

For what I see on their doc I should do the following

  import Swiper, { Navigation, Pagination } from 'swiper';

  const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
    // configure Swiper to use modules
    modules: [Navigation, Pagination],
    ...
  });

But I do not understand, I don't have any .swiper element, and I don't which to declare any. Also, I have multiple swiper on the same page, so I would wish to target only the specific _swiperRef one.

Is it somehow in a proper way doable?

Quite hard to understand but I did it.

1. Avoid the swiper initialized himself

<swiper-container #swiperRef init="false"> 
  <!-- You slides --> 
</swiper-container>

2. You do not need to use the SwiperCore anymore

@ViewChild('swiperRef', { static: true })
  private _swiperRef: ElementRef | undefined
swiper?: Swiper

options: SwiperOptions = {
  slidesPerView: 1,
  zoom: true,
  enabled: true,
  pagination: true,
  autoHeight: true,
}

ngOnInit() {
  const swiperEl = this._swiperRef.nativeElement
  Object.assign(swiperEl, this.options)

  swiperEl.initialize()

  this.swiper = this._swiperRef.nativeElement.swiper
}

3. Should just work out of the box
