Lets say

surname = new FormControl('', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(2)]);

At some point depending on the situation I may add or delete any validators on surname control.

At the end How do I know what validators exists on surname control? I couldn't find any thing in documentation nor by dumping the control into console

Something like 

surname.getValidators() should return - ['required', 'minLength']
