config library supports defining a default value for structure members by using default keyword in structure tags

  type Database struct {
    Username string `default:"admin"`

  }

After specified default value in tags, calls config.ParseDefault(interface{}) to set it on structure instance, example codes as the below:

  dbConfig := Database{}
  config.ParseDefault(&dbConfig)
