There is no difference. We use both to store data for AlpineJS components.

We use `Alpine.store()` to manage the global state of our components, while `Alpine.data()` is used to create reusable components.

We use `Alpine.data()` to manage our components’ global state, while `Alpine.store()` is used to create reusable components.

What is the difference between `Alpine.data()` and `Alpine.store()`?

What is the difference between <code>Alpine.data()</code> and <code>Alpine.store()</code>?

We register a modal component and start AlpineJS from a bundle.

We register a modal store and start AlpineJS from a bundle.

We register a modal component and start AlpineJS from a CDN.

We display a modal component defined in **`modal.js`**.

Review the following code snippet and answer the question below:
```js
import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
import modal from './modal.js'

Alpine.data('modal', modal)

Alpine.start()
```
What’s happening in the code above?

Review the following code snippet and answer the question below:
<pre><code class="language-js">import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
import modal from './modal.js'

Alpine.data('modal', modal)

Alpine.start()
</code></pre>

How many ways can we access global AlpineJS stores?

How many ways can we access global AlpineJS stores?

`Alpine.data` allows us to reuse components while `x-data` does not.

It provides another way to declare components.

`Alpine.data` can be used to declare complex components, while `x-data` cannot.

What’s the use of `Alpine.data` if we can already define AlpineJS components with `x-data`?

What’s the use of <code>Alpine.data</code> if we can already define AlpineJS components with <code>x-data</code>?
