Is there a way to auto increment a number field in RxDB?

I've got a simple schema:

export default {
  title: 'hash schema',
  version: 0,
  primaryKey: 'hash',
  type: 'object',
  keyCompression: true,
  properties: {
    uuid: { type: 'string' },
    id: { type: 'number' }
  }
}

I want to have a table with a string field uuid as a primary key and I want to map it to an unique number that is automatically increased.

Is there a way to do so?

"automatically incrementing" doesn't sound very UUIDish to me. UUIDs are supposed to be random and unpredictable. You leave yourself vulnerable to the German Tank Problem

Nevertheless, you can indicate a string should be a UUID in JSON Schema by using "format": "uuid". It is only available in implementations supporting specification version draft2019-09 or later.
