Suggestion: Parsing tags on nested structures

[rusq]

Hi @BoRuDar , it's me again, your new friend.

Noticed that tags (on flag provider) are not being parsed on nested structure, so, say, on this structure:

type Config struct {
	Client *Client `yaml:"client,omitempty" flag:"name|default_value|Description"`
	Server *Server `yaml:"server,omitempty"`
}

type Client struct {
	// ServerAddress is the default server address to connect to.
	ServerAddress string `yaml:"default_server,omitempty" flag:"addr|127.0.0.1:443|server address"`
}

type Server struct {
// ...
}

only the tag for Client will be parsed.

In my particular case the requirement is to have a config file that can include server and client configuration values, because executable can act as a client or server.

Would you agree that it would be very useful to transverse the nested structures too?

Hi @rusq
Thank you for reporting. The lib is expected to parse embedded structs as well. I'll check it.

Fixed in version v1.3.1. Link to PR.
