Adding an undefined property to methods on vue components leads to a very ambiguous error message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Example:

import stuff from './stuff'

export default {
  template: '...',
  methods: {
    someMethod: stuff.someMetod // typo!!!
  }
}

It's an easy mistake to make. This checks for undefined properties and warns if it finds one.

if (methods[key] != null) {
vm[key] = bind(methods[key], vm)
} else {
warn(`The method ${key} on vue instance is undefined.`, vm)

can we add else if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') here so that the warning can be stripped?

curious why do you provide vm as a second variable? it will log vm?

it's used to get the component name, if available:
