rsync -rv --include='index.js' --include='*/' \
                   --exclude='/node_modules/' \
                   --exclude='*' \
                   --prune-empty-dirs /www /testbackup -n

...some line in result..
www/proj-1/node_modules/xdg-basedir/index.js
www/proj-33/node_modules/somedir/index.js
...

rsync version 3.1.2

I just want to get all index.js files only outside node_modules directory, any suggestion please without using filelist.txt

You may be able to do this using rsync alone, however I'd find it easier to do with find + rsync:

find /www -type f -not -path '/www/*/node_modules/*' -name 'index.js' -print0 |
    rsync --dry-run --files-from=- --from0 -v / /testbackup

Remove --dry-run if you're happy with the result.

Note: you're using -r instead of the "standard" -a; from that I gather you don't want to turn on all the options normally turned on by -a. So this command won't either.
