How to store rich text data?

As from the documents they have following methods to get the contents and render

render(); //Render the editor. This method must be called to render the editor.
render(String html); //Render the editor with HTML as parameter.
render(EditorState state); //Render the editor with the state as a parameter

getContent(); //returns the content in the editor as EditorState
getContentAsSerialized(); //returns the content as serialized form of EditorState
getContentAsSerialized(EditorState state); //returns the provided parameter as serialized.
getContentAsHTML(); //returns the editor content in HTML format.

So you can use getContent() as per your requirement and directly store the content and use render method while displaying.

You can search how to store Serialised Objects inside Firebase to store EditorState object or directly store HTML text as String.
