Angular 2 - Loading Component

Question

I have a basic loading component that displays a spinner and fetches a remote config file required by the rest of the app to function.

Is there a way to route all routes through the loading component first so the config data is loaded?

Or is there another recommendation to guarantee some common logic (fetching remote config) is executed prior to any routes being loaded regardless if the user enters the url to a specific route?

@micronyks right, it depends on how often it is supposed to be loaded or checked (only once or for every route) https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html#!#guards — Günter Zöchbauer, Jul 19 '16 at 18:02
It should only be called once, but needs to be called regardless which route a user comes in on. — Steve, Jul 19 '16 at 18:32

Guards & CanActivate were the solution I ended up using, and it worked well.
