Question

Im trying to return a custom HTTP response, based on condition I want to return true or false, the right response is calculated in my /api/validate function

Have tried nummerous things all fail. How to just return true or false?

Your can not return just true or false. You have to return correct http response with status code. For example

200 OK – true
422 Unprocessable Entity – false

Or you can always return 200 OK with hash object converted to JSON in body of your response. Something like

{ :result => true }.to_json
