Using momentjs how to get today's midday

I need to get today's midday.

Please don't confuse the post with another StackOverflow post which says "How to get last midday in moments" which is unanswered and want to get the last date.

I want to get the current date not last

For example:

If today is 2020-05-12T22:00:00 should return 2020-05-12T12:00:00 and that's too in the same time zone.

I'm looking for something preexisting function in the moment if it exists.

Is there any method example: moment().someFunction(12, 'd').

Thanks in advance.

Try using moment-timezone to specify the timezone . Get the start of the day and then add 12 hours to it to give you the desired format 

console.log(
   moment("2020-05-12T22:00:00")
    .tz("America/Los_Angeles")
    .startOf("day")
    .hour(12)
    .minute(0)
    .format()
);
<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.js"></script>
<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-timezone.js"></script>
<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-timezone-with-data.js"></script>

If you want to get the midday in any way you can do it like this. I didn't use moment.js in this example.

function getMidDate(date){
   
    var dateParts = date.toLocaleString().split(":");
    var hour = dateParts[0].replace(dateParts[0].split(" ")[1],"12");
    var min = dateParts[1].replace(dateParts[1],"00")
    var sec = dateParts[2].replace(dateParts[2],"00");
    var middateString = hour + ":" + min + ":" + sec + "+0000";
    var midDate = new Date(Date.parse(middateString));
    return midDate;
}
var date = new Date();
console.log(getMidDate(date));

Get the start of the current day and add 12 hours in it . 

    var  now = moment()
    var startdate =now.startOf('day');
    var midday = startdate.add(moment.duration(12, 'hours'));
    console.log(midday.toString());
