Insert returning api to match select columns

I have the following helpers to select the right columns and ensure I don't leak sensitive data: 
export const userSelectPublicColumns = { id: true, firstName: true, lastName: true }
export const userSelectSensitiveColumns = {
  ...userSelectPublicColumns,
  email: true,
  mobileNumber: true,
export const userSelectPublicColumns = { id: true, firstName: true, lastName: true }
export const userSelectSensitiveColumns = {
  ...userSelectPublicColumns,
  email: true,
  mobileNumber: true,
However when I come to call insert().returning() it seems the .returning() method takes a different shape and I'll need to duplicate my objects values above from boolean true to table.columnKey Anyway around this duplication?

what's the purpose of true in select object? why it doesn't just contain relevant columns like in returning object?

the docs say to select columns you use columnName: true

@Titan you could possibly create a conversion function that utilises both getTableColumns(table) (https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/goodies#get-typed-table-columns) and maybe also InferSelectModel<typeof table> (https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/goodies#type-api)

useful thanks, I wonder if that works in a Drizzle relational query "columns" option as shown in the screenshot above. The example only shows it's usage in db.select which makes me doubtful, will have to give it a go thanks

I think you will need to write an automatic mapping function SelectColumnsToReturningColumns, but I think you should be able to get the values needed for returning columns from getTableColumns @Titan Here is a possible conversion function 
type TrueKeys<T extends Record<string, boolean>> = {
  [K in keyof T]: T[K] extends true ? K : never
}[keyof T]

function getSelectColumns<
  TQueryColumns extends Record<string, boolean>,
  TKeys extends TrueKeys<TQueryColumns>,
  TTableColumns extends Record<TKeys, unknown>
>(queryColumns: TQueryColumns, tableColumns: TTableColumns) {
  const keys = Object.keys(tableColumns) as TKeys[]
  return keys
    .filter(key => queryColumns[key])
    .reduce(
      (acc, key) => ({ ...acc, [key]: tableColumns[key] }),
      {} as { -readonly [Key in TKeys]: TTableColumns[Key] }
    )
}

const queryColumns = {
  id: true,
} as const

const selectColumns = getSelectColumns(
  queryColumns,
  getTableColumns(tables.organisation)
)

const selectResult = await db
  .select(selectColumns)
  .from(tables.organisation)
const queryResult = await db.query.organisation.findMany({
  columns: queryColumns,
})
type TrueKeys<T extends Record<string, boolean>> = {
  [K in keyof T]: T[K] extends true ? K : never
}[keyof T]

function getSelectColumns<
  TQueryColumns extends Record<string, boolean>,
  TKeys extends TrueKeys<TQueryColumns>,
  TTableColumns extends Record<TKeys, unknown>
>(queryColumns: TQueryColumns, tableColumns: TTableColumns) {
  const keys = Object.keys(tableColumns) as TKeys[]
  return keys
    .filter(key => queryColumns[key])
    .reduce(
      (acc, key) => ({ ...acc, [key]: tableColumns[key] }),
      {} as { -readonly [Key in TKeys]: TTableColumns[Key] }
    )
}

const queryColumns = {
  id: true,
} as const

const selectColumns = getSelectColumns(
  queryColumns,
  getTableColumns(tables.organisation)
)

const selectResult = await db
  .select(selectColumns)
  .from(tables.organisation)
const queryResult = await db.query.organisation.findMany({
  columns: queryColumns,
})
