How to use it

In case if You work with Github and/or Gitlab API, You need to convert link key value from response headers to upload all available data. This library can help You with it. How it works:

var { linkParser } = require('qansigliere-parse-link-from-headers');

let headers = {
        date: 'Fri, 14 Feb 2025 14:40:38 GMT',
        'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        'cache-control': 'private, max-age=60, s-maxage=60',
        vary: 'Accept, Authorization, Cookie, X-GitHub-OTP,Accept-Encoding, Accept, X-Requested-With',
        etag: 'W/"444f830838f7afe42d388ad25ee6b7bd900ea021e8f94efed012f1445e29dc80"',
        'github-authentication-token-expiration': '2025-03-16 17:35:17 +0300',
        'x-github-media-type': 'github.v3; format=json',
        link: '<https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2 >; rel="next", <https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2 >; rel="last"',
        'x-accepted-github-permissions': 'pull_requests=read',
        'x-github-api-version-selected': '2022-11-28',
        'x-ratelimit-limit': '5000',
        'x-ratelimit-remaining': '4995',
        'x-ratelimit-reset': '1739547333',
        'x-ratelimit-used': '5',
        'x-ratelimit-resource': 'core',
        'access-control-expose-headers':
            'ETag, Link, Location, Retry-After, X-GitHub-OTP, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Used, X-RateLimit-Resource, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-OAuth-Scopes, X-Accepted-OAuth-Scopes, X-Poll-Interval, X-GitHub-Media-Type, X-GitHub-SSO, X-GitHub-Request-Id, Deprecation, Sunset',
        'access-control-allow-origin': '*',
        'strict-transport-security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload',
        'x-frame-options': 'deny',
        'x-content-type-options': 'nosniff',
        'x-xss-protection': '0',
        'referrer-policy': 'origin-when-cross-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin',
        'content-security-policy': "default-src 'none'",
        'transfer-encoding': 'chunked',
        server: 'GitHub · Build and ship software on a single, collaborative platform ',
        'x-github-request-id': '8408:AF9A4:1713322:17A6E88:67AF55E6',
    };

    console.log(linkParser(headers));

You will get such simple response:

{
    next: 'https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2',
    last: 'https://api.github.com/repositories/929484816/pulls?state=all&per_page=1&page=2',
}
