Replace a value in a data frame from other dataframe in r

Hi I have two dataframes, based on the id match, i wanted to replace table a's values with that of table b.

sample dataset is here :

a = tibble(id = c(1, 2,3),
           type = c("a", "x", "y"))
b= tibble(id = c(1,3),
          type =c("d", "n"))

Im expecting an output like the following :

c= tibble(id = c(1,2,3),
          type = c("d", "x", "n"))

In dplyr v1.0.0, the rows_update() function was introduced for this purpose:

rows_update(a, b)

# Matching, by = "id"
# # A tibble: 3 x 2
#      id type 
#   <dbl> <chr>
# 1     1 d    
# 2     2 x    
# 3     3 n
