You may try below middleware right somewhere in beginning.

var wwwRedirect = function(req, res, next){
    if(req.get('host').indexOf('www.') === 0){
      if(req.method === "GET" && !req.xhr){
        return res.redirect(req.protocol + '://' + req.get('host').substring(4) + req.originalUrl);
      }
    }
  }
  next();
};

app.use(wwwRedirect);
