Rename character vector in pipeline

Can I connect the following two codes into one with the pipeline?

v <- c(1:3)
names(v) <- letters[1:3]

What I want to do is something like this:

v <- c(1:3) %>% rename_with(~ letters[1:3])

Of course it doesn't work; it says:
>"Error in UseMethod("rename_with") : no applicable method for 'rename_with' applied to an object of class "c('integer', 'numeric')"

The reason I want to do this is that I need to construct an object like v above using the targets package.

Just do it with setNames():

v <- 1:3 |> setNames(letters[1:3])
v
#> a b c 
#> 1 2 3

I prefer using setNames() like @LiangZhang's answer. Here I provide another point of view for this issue.

This line names(v) <- letters[1:3] is actually evaluated as follows:

`names<-`(v, letters[1:3])

You can regard `names<-` as a function and adapt it for a pipeline:

v |> `names<-`(letters[1:3])
# a b c 
# 1 2 3

Also, names(v) <- letters[1:3] is equivalent to add an attribute called "names" to the vector v, i.e.

attr(v, "names") <- letters[1:3]

Hence, the pipeline can be also written as

v |> `attr<-`("names", letters[1:3])
# a b c 
# 1 2 3
