How to parse link header from github API

The parse-link-header NPM module exists for this purpose; its source can be found on github under a MIT license (free for commercial use).

Installation is as simple as:

npm install parse-link-header

Usage looks like the following:

var parse = require('parse-link-header');var parsed = parse('<https://api.github.com/repos?page=3&per_page=100>; rel="next", <https://api.github.com/repos?page=50&per_page=100>; rel="last"')

...after which one has parsed.next, parsed.last, etc:

{ next:   { page: '3',     per_page: '100',     rel: 'next',     url: 'https://api.github.com/repos?page=3&per_page=100' },  last:   { page: '50',     per_page: '100',     rel: 'last',     url: ' https://api.github.com/repos?page=50&per_page=100' } }

There is a PageLinks class in the GitHub Java API that shows how to parse the Link header.

I found this Gist that:

Parse Github Links header in JavaScript

Tested it out on the Github API and it returns an object like:

var results = {    last: "https://api.github.com/repositories/123456/issues?access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&state=open&since=2013-07-24T02%3A12%3A30.309Z&direction=asc&page=4"    next: "https://api.github.com/repositories/123456/issues?access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&state=open&since=2013-07-24T02%3A12%3A30.309Z&direction=asc&page=2"};
