What is the equivalent to Aurelia1 PreTask?

```auto
        class FrameworkConfiguration 
	preTask(task: Function): FrameworkConfiguration;
	/**
	 * Adds an async function that runs after the plugins are run.
	 * @param task The function to run after start.
	 * @return Returns the current FrameworkConfiguration instance.
	 */

```

Thanks!
