Loading config before starting to construct/load rootPage - ionic2

Question

Im building a ionic 2 rc0 app. My rootPage depends on some configuration I have to load before I start my App. I'm using a provider called Config all over over the application. How can I delay/wait until configs loaded before constructing my Home page component. I need the configs in the constructor of Home. Is there sth. like a preloading module from ionic for situation like that ?
Is that even the best location for tasks like that ?
My Config module uses
http.get(../assets/config/config.json)
.toPromise()
.then(res => this.data = res);
to load the json file locally into data object of of my Config provider. And my code in app.component.ts fires a the function config.loadDefault() to load these default settings from the config.json file for the application .....
app.components.ts
import { Component } from '#angular/core';
import { Platform } from 'ionic-angular';
import { StatusBar } from 'ionic-native';
import { Home } from '../pages/home/home';
import { Config } from '../providers/config/config';
#Component({
template: `<ion-nav [root]="rootPage"></ion-nav>`
})
export class LoddenApp {
public rootPage = Home;
constructor(
public platform : Platform,
public config : Config
){
// loading config
config.loadDefault()
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
return config.loadSettingsFromDB();
})
.catch(err => {
console.log("error occured while loading config:");
console.log(err);
});
platform.ready().then(() => {
...
});
}
}

Answer 1

By not defining the rootPage until i got back my promise response, I can hold back the constructor of my Home page from firing.
...
export class LoddenApp {
public rootPage : any; // hold back
constructor(
...
Then inside the then() block, i can set the rootPage of my app.
this.rootPage = Home; // Home is the Homepage component

I am not sure this is the best way to do. But one option is to hide the splash screen after your data gets loaded.
import {Splashscreen} from 'ionic-native';
constructor(
public platform : Platform,
public config : Config
){
platform.ready().then(() => {
// loading config
config.loadDefault()
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
return config.loadSettingsFromDB();
})
.catch(err => {
console.log("error occured while loading config:");
console.log(err);
});
Splashscreen.hide();
});
}
