Save DataModule state ===================== When a checkpoint is created, it asks every DataModule for their state. If your DataModule defines the *state_dict* and *load_state_dict* methods, the checkpoint will automatically track and restore your DataModules. .. code:: python import lightning as L class LitDataModule(L.LightningDataModule): def state_dict(self): # track whatever you want here state = {"current_train_batch_index": self.current_train_batch_index} return state def load_state_dict(self, state_dict): # restore the state based on what you tracked in (def state_dict) self.current_train_batch_index = state_dict["current_train_batch_index"]
