# Call
- `Call(callable $callable, Rule $rule)`
This is a very low level validator. It calls a function, method or closure
for the input and then validates it. Consider the following variable:
```php
$url = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=respect.github.com'
```
To validate every part of this URL we could use the native `parse_url`
function to break its parts:
```php
$parts = parse_url($url);
```
This function returns an array containing `scheme`, `host`, `path` and `query`.
We can validate them this way:
```php
v::arrayVal()->key('scheme', v::startsWith('http'))
->key('host', v::domain())
->key('path', v::stringType())
->key('query', v::notEmpty());
```
Using `v::call()` you can do this in a single chain:
```php
v::call(
'parse_url',
v::arrayVal()->key('scheme', v::startsWith('http'))
->key('host', v::domain())
->key('path', v::stringType())
->key('query', v::notEmpty())
)->validate($url);
```
It is possible to call methods and closures as the first parameter:
```php
v::call([$myObj, 'methodName'], v::intVal())->validate($myInput);
v::call(function($input) {}, v::intVal())->validate($myInput);
```
