Customizing the Templates FormHelper for just plugins CakePHP 3?

I would like to customize a form helper template for just a plugin, not across the App.

Example: 'inputContainer' => '<div class="form-control">{{content}}</div>',

How do I go about doing this in CakePHP 3?

As per the docs - to change theme inline at runtime use setTemplate:

$myTemplates = [
'inputContainer' => '<div class="form-control">{{content}}</div>',
];
?>
<?= $this->Form->create('Users') ?>
<? $this->Form->setTemplates($myTemplates); ?>
<?=
$this->Form->input('email', [
    'class' => 'form-control',
    'templates' => [
        'formGroup' => '{{input}}{{label}}'
]])
?>

You can't use the templates option on the Form for a dynamic template, it will only look for a config file listing template items in /config.
