Does exposed have something like Hibernat's id-annotation and the @GeneratedValue for the id
Because I am having the problem that I always should initialize the users with an id of -1, if I don't get the from the db
Is there any solution you know about?

Could you give more context?

I haven't understand the moment with "if I don't get the from the db", does it mean that you have nullable `id` field (I don't expect it, but who knows)

In general, you can mark column as `databaseGenerated`  and Exposed will expect that the value should be generated on the DB side, and to complain if you skip this column on the entry creation.
