Filament v2 property null when searching

I have a filament table from a livewire component.
Witch i want to make it be dynamic to work with different logic per table

I have a mount() method that looks like:
    protected ?Collection $tableProperty = null;

    public function mount()
    {
        $this->tableProperty = DataTableInitializer::initialize($this->dataTableType);
        $this->dataTableButtons = $this->tableProperty['dataTableButtons'];
    }

and my methods look like this
protected function getTableQuery(): Builder
{
    return $this->tableProperty['query'];
}
protected function getTableColumns(): array
{
    return $this->tableProperty['columns'];
}

.
.
.
.


But when i go to a next page or try to use the search i get that the tableProperty is null

if i add the initialize of the tableProperty in each method everything is normal
protected function getTableQuery(): Builder
{
    $this->tableProperty = DataTableInitializer::initialize($this->dataTableType);
    return $this->tableProperty['query'];
}
protected function getTableColumns(): array
{
    $this->tableProperty = DataTableInitializer::initialize($this->dataTableType);
    return $this->tableProperty['columns'];
}

But this does not look good in my opinion.
So what must i do to escape this repeating and initialize the tableProperty just once ?
Solution
To escape this repeating of code i added the hydrate hook in the livewire component

This worked very well
public function mount()
{
    $this->tableProperty = DataTableInitializer::initialize($this->dataTableType);
    $this->dataTableButtons = $this->tableProperty['dataTableButtons'];
}
public function hydrate()
{
    // filament table loses its inner properties. So on each hydrate of the livewire component i must provide the initializing of the tableProperty
    $this->tableProperty = DataTableInitializer::initialize($this->dataTableType);
    $this->dataTableButtons = $this->tableProperty['dataTableButtons'];
}
