Sinon function stubbing: How to call “own” function inside module

Question

I am writing some unit tests for node.js code and I use Sinon to stub function calls via

var myFunction = sinon.stub(nodeModule, \'myFunction\');
myFunction.

You can refactor your module a little. Like this.

var service = {
   myFunction: myFunction,
   anotherFunction: anotherFunction
}

module.expors = service;

function myFunction(){};

function anotherFunction() {
   service.myFunction(); //calls whatever there is right now
}
