        "styles":           staticDirectory + "/styles/",
        "bower_components": staticDirectory + "/bower_components/",
        "images":           staticDirectory + "/images/",
        "scripts":          staticDirectory + "/scripts/",
    }
    for pathName, pathValue := range staticPaths {
        pathPrefix := "/" + pathName + "/"
        router.PathPrefix(pathPrefix).Handler(http.StripPrefix(pathPrefix,
            http.FileServer(http.Dir(pathValue))))
    }
}
router := mux.NewRouter()
ServeStatic(router, "/static/")
