How do you reuse the loader at the preload stage?

You may be familiar with this:

preload(){    this.load.image("preloadbg", urlToPreloadBG);        this.load.image("preloadbgbar", urlToPreloadBGBar);}

But I wondered, how would you handle a situation where the game depends on JSON in order to further load data? 

So for example
 

preload(){        var that = this;    this.load.onLoadComplete.addOnce( function(){         //great, I have config, and I parsed it, and now I need to load a language file and do not want to start just yet         that.load.onLoadComplete.addOnce(function(){               console.log("TADA, now continue");         });         that.load.json("en", urlToEn);                   });    this.load.image("preloadbg", urlToPreloadBG);        this.load.image("preloadbgbar", urlToPreloadBGBar);    this.load.json("config", urlToConfig);}

I messed around with the reset() and also tried onFileComplete and so on but not having much luck after the initial preloadbg/preloadbgbar/config is loaded.

Create a state which preloads your required data assets first, and then when they're loaded, progress to the next state which preloads the assets dependent on these initial data assets. See the basic template for a simple example of setting up states.
