How to swap the names and values of a named vector in R?

Question

I am interested in swapping the names and values of my vector

y <- c(a = "Apple", b = "Banana")

I would instead like code that creates the equivalent of

y <- c(Apple = "a", Banana = "b")

I see there is the invert function in the the searchable package, but this doesn't seem like it's updated for Version 4 of R yet.

You can use :

setNames(names(y), y)
# Apple Banana 
#   "a"    "b"
