Can you run an Angular service (or a function on that service) before anything else? Ideally, as soon as ng-app
gets parsed.
Here's my use case: I'm writing an app that gets AJAX data from a server and then parses the data a hundred different ways. I would like to make the initial AJAX call before all the controllers get called? That way I just have all the data parsed and loaded in the service without me worrying about updating any controllers or whatever.
