I am working on a lightning component and within the components layout I have to provide a button which can generate pdf of that lightning component . I found some blogs but still not sure about the actual solution for this . Please let me know if you guys have some sample implementation example for doing this . Thanks !

There is no direct tag in lightning that will render the page as PDF. Why dont you use a VF page instead to render your page as PDF and call it from your lightning component. – Rockstar May 15 '18 at 13:24

If you want to save the entire window, you can just open the print window then save as PDF (if the business requirement allows):
print : function (component, event, helper) {
window.print();
}
If you want to print a portion of your lightning component, you might need to reconstruct the page to the pdf. Follow this:
var myWindow = window.open('','_blank', 'width=' + screen.availWidth + ',height=' + screen.avaliHeight);
myWindow.document.write('<html>HTML CODE HERE</html>');
myWindow.document.close();
myWindow.focus();
myWindow.print();
