crashes with illegal component declaration

[schmod]

An "illegal" component declaration causes the plugin to crash and exit. We should tolerate this gracefully.

angular.module('foo').component({})

causes the plugin to exit with:

unknown: Cannot set property '$chained' of undefined

It doesn't just crash with an illegal declaration, unfortunately. The following code also caused this issue for me (I wrote it out of laziness..)

const components = {
  someName: someComponentObject
}

const ngModule = angular.module('components', [])
Object.keys(components).forEach((name) => ngModule.component(name, components[name]))

@danpantry I've fixed things so your example no longer crashes, but you're definitely going to need to add explicit annotations to that source for it to be annotated.

[punmechanic]

This example shouldn't need any annotations at all - components cannot be annotated as they are just objects. controllers of components, sure

[schmod]

True! But those controllers are indeed going to need explicit annotations.
