Not sure what I'm doing wrong

What am I missing here? This looks correct and based on angular js documentation....

app.js 
angular.module("foobar",[]);

.directive('customDirective', function() {

});

The SyntaxError: Parse error is caused by the semicolon at the end of line one. By removing this the "directive" method is then parsed as part of the angular instance and not seen as a new statement. 

angular.module("foobar",[]).directive('customDirective', function() {
});
