How to pre-fill a form with URL parameters in JS?

I am not sure where to find this solution in the lessons...

I am setting up an orderform and would like to grab parameters in a URL and pre-fill hidden form values that are then added to the order.

I am lost with how to have the value in the URL pass to a form field. Can someone help me with this? Or suggest which lesson I should be searching in for this?

I am in the front-end developer track but scanning through the upcoming lessons, nothing stands out as the solution to this.
