Setup

2. Create a div element with an id where you will attach the editor. Wrap it inside of a {{constant}} block so that it is not rerendered.
3. Create an editor object by calling new ReactiveAce()
4. Attach the editor to the div by calling editorObject.attach(divElementId)

Enabling syntax modes and themes

Assuming your editor is a variabled named editor, try editor.theme = "monokai" editor.syntaxMode = "javascript"
