Angular FormControl check if required

I needed something slightly more abstract, so I've adapted the answer from @siddajmera a bit to be able to use on any field.

In your .ts file:

isRequiredField(field: string) {
    const form_field = this.testForm.get(field);
    if (!form_field.validator) {
        return false;
    }

    const validator = form_field.validator({} as AbstractControl);
    return (validator && validator.required);
}

Then, in your template file:

<div>
    <label>Some Field:<span *ngIf="isRequiredField('some_field')">*</span></label>
    <input [formControl]="form.controls['some_field']">
</div>
<div>
    <label>Some Field:<span *ngIf="isRequiredField('another_field')">*</span></label>
    <input [formControl]="form.controls['another_field']">
</div>

You can do something like this:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormControl, Validators, AbstractControl } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({...})
export class AppComponent  {
  form: FormGroup = new FormGroup({
    control: new FormControl(null, Validators.required)
  });

  get validator() {
    const validator = this.form.get('control').validator({} as AbstractControl);
    console.log(validator);
    if (validator && validator.required) {
      return true;
    }
  }
}

And then in your Template:

<form [formGroup]="form" (submit)="onSubmit()">
  Control: <span *ngIf="validator">*</span> <input type="text" formControlName="control">
  <button>Submit</button>
</form>

---

NOTE: Just get the form control as a type of AbstractControl using this this.form.get('control').validator({} as AbstractControl);

This will return an Object with the list of validators that are present on your FormControl. You can then check for the required key in the Object. If it exists and its value is true then you can be sure that a Required Validator is applied on the FormControl.
