Accessing constant or cookie value in configuration phase of angularjs

Question

I want to access values stored in Cookie in config phase of angularjs, how can I do it? Is it possible? I currently have the below code inside app.config(function(..., $translateProvider){...}) which is working perfectly fine:

var defaultLang = 'de-DE';
var moduleName = { moduleName: 'UICaption.Resources' };

    $translateProvider.useLoader('customLocalizationLoaderFactory',
    {        
        moduleName, url: resourceUrl
    });

    $translateProvider.preferredLanguage(defaultLang);

I want to achieve something like(below code) inside app.config(), but I think only providers are registered and accessed during configuration phase, so how should I access the values stored in cookies in config phase via $cookies service or any other way:

 var defaultLang = $cookies.get('ASPNET_CULTURE' === 'de-DE') ? 'de-DE' : 'en-US';
    var moduleName = { moduleName: 'UICaption.Resources' };

    $translateProvider.useLoader('customLocalizationLoaderFactory',
    {
        moduleName, url: resourceUrl
    });

    $translateProvider.preferredLanguage(defaultLang);

Please guide if any other approach is there for the same?

Thank you.

for constants, one way is to have them in seperate module that can be injected in current module's config/controller/anywhere else as mentioned in [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/28416656/4315380) — tanmay, May 15 '17 at 10:00
one of the answer (Injecting cookies manually) in the link shared by Redd works for me. Thank you. — Pranay, May 15 '17 at 14:23

This old answer might help you.

More generally, $cookies are meant to be retrieved in the .run() phase. I suggest you to load all your $translate partials and languages in the .config() and the set an active language using your cookie in your .run().
