Is it possible to create a new path given an existing Skia Path?

The only ways to create a SkPath are the following (from PathFactory)

export interface PathFactory {
    Make(): SkPath;
    /**
     * Creates a new path from the provided SVG string. If this fails, null will be
     * returned instead.
     * @param str
     */
    MakeFromSVGString(str: string): SkPath | null;
    /**
     * Creates a new path by combining the given paths according to op. If this fails, null will
     * be returned instead.
     * @param one
     * @param two
     * @param op
     */
    MakeFromOp(one: SkPath, two: SkPath, op: PathOp): SkPath | null;
    /**
     * Creates a new path from the given list of path commands. If this fails, null will be
     * returned instead.
     * @param cmds
     */
    MakeFromCmds(cmds: PathCommand[]): SkPath | null;
    /**
     * Converts the text to a path with the given font at location x / y.
     */
    MakeFromText(text: string, x: number, y: number, font: SkFont): SkPath | null;
}

If I have an existing SkPath, how can I create a new path, using the existing path as a starting point?

The only thing I can think of is something like:

const basePath = Skia.Path.Make();
basePath.moveTo(0, 100);
basePath.lineTo(200,200);

const newPath = Skia.Path.MakeFromOp(basePath, Skia.Path.Make(), PathOp.Union);
newPath.lineTo(50, 50)

since MakeFromOp is the only one that accepts an SkPath - but the above code doesn't work, the path doesn't get rendered so I'm probably incorrect in trying to use that.

Just realised I can do Skia.Path.MakeFromSVGString(anSkPathVariable.toSvgString()) but it feels a bit odd. Is that the best way currently?

there is path.copy() which does just that, I hope this helps.
