why not

using DTOs is away to avoid coupling the client with database entities.

DTOs help you create a more stable RESTful API; they protect your API clients from changes made on the server.

I commonly use my typeorm classes along with class-transformer and annotations like @Exclude().

You can combine mapping to columns in the database/entity and then properties that are not.
