False value in json file

[mrazimi99]

I'm trying to fill a required boolean field in the JSON file, and when the value is false, the following error raises:
field "boolVarName" is required but the value is not provided.
But when I change the value to true, everything goes well.

I think the issue is in the condition of line 316 of cleanenv.go, or the condition of line 329 where you check meta.isFieldValueZero().

You can use pointer for required values with proper zero values.

type Config struct {
    FeatureEnabled *bool `env-required:"true" yaml:"enabled"`
}

Thank you, it works.
Although I think the main problem still exists and can be solved.

Some "no value" is required for detecting non-existent but required fields. Zero value is not so good idea, especially for bool. Pointer with nil as "no value" is quite good choice, but env-required:"true" should be forbidden for non-pointer types. So isFieldValueZero() should be transformed into isFieldValueNil() and should be check for *Type fields only.

Anther problem is lack of support pointer fields for environment vars: #81
