### Generic type variables

#### <mark style="color:green;">`ErrorId`</mark>`extends`[<mark style="color:green;">`Id`</mark>](/errors/generic-type-variables.md#errors-less-than-id-greater-than)

A generic type variable `ErrorId` constrained by the generic type variable [`Id`](/errors/generic-type-variables.md#errors-less-than-id-greater-than) of the [`Errors`](/errors/overview.md) object indicates the type picked from the [`Id`](/errors/generic-type-variables.md#errors-less-than-id-greater-than) and its exact type is useful in picking the specific error from the storage.

A solution to the given [`problem`](#problem-string) of a [`string`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) type.

#### `id:`[<mark style="color:green;">`ErrorId`</mark>](#erroridextendsid)

The unique identification to the given [`problem`](#problem-string) of generic type variable [`ErrorId`](#erroridextendsid).

#### `template =`[<mark style="color:green;">`Errors`</mark>](/errors/overview.md)`.template`

A template of error message with the replaceable [`{problem}`](/commonerror/properties/static-template.md#problem), [`{fix}`](/commonerror/properties/static-template.md#fix), [`{id}`](/commonerror/properties/static-template.md#id) tags.

// Define general errors.
const generalErrors = new Errors('EG: 4332', 'EG: 4331', 'EG: 4330');

// Set the `Error` objects under the given identification numbers.
generalErrors
  .set(
    'Bad parameter type, detected number',
    'Provide proper type, the `string`',
    'EG: 4330'
  )
