I'd suggest checking out Firepad.

• Firepad is a drop-in "Open source collaborative code and text editing" experience for Firebase apps.

As the documentation describes, this is how you initialize Firepad:

<div id="firepad"></div>
<script>
  var firepadRef = new Firebase('<FIREBASE URL>');
  var codeMirror = CodeMirror(document.getElementById('firepad'), { lineWrapping: true });
  var firepad = Firepad.fromCodeMirror(firepadRef, codeMirror,
      { richTextShortcuts: true, richTextToolbar: true, defaultText: 'Hello, World!' });
</script>
