Magento 2 : How to Override Core Template Magento_Review::helper/summary.phtml

Question

How to change the template in a custom module.

Original path = vendor/magento/module-review/view/frontend/templates/helper/summary.phtml

I want to change this template to my own when my module is enabled ONLY

I have looked at a few tests that I could gather from Online and nothing worked.

the way Magento show this summary.phtml is by this way

protected $_availableTemplates = [
    self::FULL_VIEW => 'Magento_Review::helper/summary.phtml',
    self::SHORT_VIEW => 'Magento_Review::helper/summary_short.phtml',
];

Can anyone give me some guide or tips to change this template in a custom module.

The core file is coming from magento/module-review/Block/Product/ReviewRenderer.php

/**
 * Get review summary html
 *
 * @param Product $product
 * @param string $templateType
 * @param bool $displayIfNoReviews
 *
 * @return string
 * @throws \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException
 * @throws \Magento\Framework\Exception\NoSuchEntityException
 */
public function getReviewsSummaryHtml(
    \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $product,
    $templateType = self::DEFAULT_VIEW,
    $displayIfNoReviews = false
) {
    if ($product->getRatingSummary() === null) {
        $this->reviewSummaryFactory->create()->appendSummaryDataToObject(
            $product,
            $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId()
        );
    }

    if (null === $product->getRatingSummary() && !$displayIfNoReviews) {
        return '';
    }
    // pick template among available
    if (empty($this->_availableTemplates[$templateType])) {
        $templateType = self::DEFAULT_VIEW;
    }
    $this->setTemplate($this->_availableTemplates[$templateType]);

    $this->setDisplayIfEmpty($displayIfNoReviews);

    $this->setProduct($product);

    return $this->toHtml();
}

You need to create the plugin of this function.

public function getReviewsSummaryHtml

Where above variable is use to return the template.
