I'm defining an API using swagger. I have a certain operation that should return something like this.
{"isDeviceLoaded":true,"loadedDeviceProperties":  {"deviceType":"Gadget","deviceProp1":0,"deviceLoadedConfigurations":[{"width":0,"length":0,"distanceToTopLeft":0}]}}
The problem is when the "isDeviceLoaded:false" I don't want to return all the properties, so in this case the return value should be only.
{"isDeviceLoaded":false}
I defined my model as below following this Swagger - Specify Optional Object Property or Multiple Responses
DeviceMediaStatus: 
type: "object"
required: ["isDeviceLoaded"]
properties: 
  isDeviceLoaded: 
    type: "boolean"
  loadedDeviceProperties: 
    type: "object"
    $ref: "#/definitions/LoadedDeviceProperties"
but when in my code I try to return only the isDeviceLoaded property I get a response validation failed. This is what I'm doing in my JS and "object" has the data.
  if(object.LoadedDeviceStatus.isDeviceLoaded){
      response = object.LoadedDeviceStatus;
      res.status(200).send(response);
  }else{
      response = object.LoadedDeviceStatus.isDeviceLoaded;
      res.status(200).send(response);
  }
