How can I pass object param to get method in web api?

Question

How can I pass object parameter to get method? I searched a lot , for example how to pass parameters to asp.net web api get method?

Here It is mentioned that we should use [FromUri] but I could not see [FromUri] in .NET Core 2

[HttpGet]
public IHttpActionResult GetDetails([FromUri] RetrieveDetails  eDetails)
{}

following is the class

public class RetrieveDetails
{ 
    public string Name{ get; set; }     
    public string Type { get; set; } 
    public List<MoreDetails> MoreDetails { get; set; }
} 

public class MoreDetails  { 
  public string DetailName{ get; set; } 
}

But FromUri can not be used in .NET Core 2

I can only think on JSON stringify and add the resulting string as query param. — JoeCool, Jun 13 '19 at 17:12

It ıs not possible to pass complex type as get method, so I decided to define post method, It looks more proper — Ozmen, Jun 13 '19 at 23:01

Generally, we use POST method to pass an complex type.But you could also do it using [FromQuery] for GET method.

Action:

[HttpGet("Test")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetDetails([FromQuery]RetrieveDetails eDetails)

Url:

.../Test?eDetails.Name=hello&eDetails.Type=world&eDetails.MoreDetails[0].DetailName=size&eDetails.MoreDetails[1].DetailName=price
