.config(function($controllerProvider, $compileProvider, $filterProvider, $provide){
  
  // Save old component registration methods (optional).
  angular.module('ngApp')._controller = angular.module('ngApp').controller;
  angular.module('ngApp')._service = angular.module('ngApp').service;
  angular.module('ngApp')._factory = angular.module('ngApp').factory;
  angular.module('ngApp')._directive = angular.module('ngApp').directive;
  
  // Provider-based component registration.
  angular.module('ngApp').controller = $controllerProvider.register;
  angular.module('ngApp').service = $provide.service;
  angular.module('ngApp').factory = $provide.factory;
  angular.module('ngApp').directive = $compileProvider.directive;
