Research direction
The issue proposes integrating ace grammar into react ace. First, review the ace grammar library (https://github.com/foo123/ace grammar) to understand its API and how it can be used with Ace. Then, examine the react ace source code (likely src/ace.jsx or similar) to identify where custom modes/themes are added. Look for existing examples of mode extensions. Discuss with maintainers or check issue comments for additional requirements. Finally, design a prop or configuration option to allow users to pass a grammar definition.
