Answer 1

Provide this in your root module

{provide: APP_INITIALIZER, useValue: () => promise, multi: true}]}

where () => promise is some call that returns a Promise that resolves to the desired value.

You can pass a service as dependency where you can store the result.

@NgModule({

            FormsModule,
            HttpModule],

            ConfigService,
            { provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
              useFactory: loadConfig,
