The `CommonPayload` generic type variable constrained by the [`object`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html#object) constrains the generic type variable `Payload` of each returned method.

### Parameters

A rest parameter of [`any`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html#any) type to check whether its elements are defined.

### Returns

The **return value** is an [`object`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object) of [`every()`](https://app.gitbook.com/s/HmRqpb9wXbHlBaTRCXZm/c/zkFcxLE4HTwIcknJCu1A/are/areboolean/every), [`some()`](https://app.gitbook.com/s/HmRqpb9wXbHlBaTRCXZm/c/zkFcxLE4HTwIcknJCu1A/are/areboolean/some) and [`forEach()`](https://app.gitbook.com/s/HmRqpb9wXbHlBaTRCXZm/c/zkFcxLE4HTwIcknJCu1A/are/areboolean/foreach) as methods of checking supplied [`values`](#...values-any).
