The problem is using the fat arrow syntax to define the function constructor for the controller class. Assuming your function passed as the second argument to module.controller is Foo, Angular will call new Foo(...) on it, which is illegal with the fat arrow syntax in ES6.

@wesleycho, is right. Controllers should be instantiable (i.e. called with new), so things like arrow functions (() => {...}) and shorthand object methods ({someMethod() {...}}) aren't suitable for controllers.

See #14766 (comment) for more details.
