How to properly organize routes in Rails?

Question

Ruby on Rails

.....  
  get '/:email', to: 'current_user#show', as: 'current_user'
  get '/:email/admin', to: 'admins#index', as: 'admin'

  root 'items#index' 
.....

Returns: No route matches [GET] "/here is my email/admin"
Why is this happening?
Or am I not doing it at all logically?

Answer 1

The leading slash is not needed and remove the email route descriptions at the end of the file. The order of the route definitions matters, the closer to the top of the file the higher the priority, i.e. more particular cases should be higher than general ones.
