I'm trying to redirect http://www... and https://www... to https://... using ingress-nginx. How can I do that?

I've tried adding the following custom configuration using the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet:

# 1
if($host = "www.example.com") {
    return 308 https://example.com$request_uri;
}

# 2
server {
    server_name www.example.com;
    return 308 https://example.com$request_uri;
}

# 3
server_name www.example.com;
return 308 https://example.com$request_uri;

But I get an error in the nginx controller logs for #1:

2019/12/07 20:58:47 [emerg] 48898#48898: unknown directive "if($host" in /tmp/nginx-cfg775816039:418
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "if($host" in /tmp/nginx-cfg775816039:418
nginx: configuration file /tmp/nginx-cfg775816039 test failed

For #2 I get an error that the server block is not allowed at that position and using #3 leads to infinite redirects. My ingress yaml looks like this:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress-nginx
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "example-com"

    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout: "86400s"

      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: service-sub
          servicePort: 1234
# more subdomains here
  - host: example.com
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: service-example
          servicePort: 1235
  - host: "*.example.com"
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: service-example-wildcard
          servicePort: 1236

I've also tried setting the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/from-to-www-redirect: "true" annotation, but that leads to a different error:

2019/12/07 21:20:34 [emerg] 51558#51558: invalid server name or wildcard "www.*.example.com" on 0.0.0.0:80
nginx: [emerg] invalid server name or wildcard "www.*.example" on 0.0.0.0:80
