i am new to ros and trying to work with rplidar a1m8 can anyone provide me with working resources or projects for the same i have done till laser scan and i am trying to achieve hector slam or cartographer for mapping
Based on your comment above where you'd like to scan a (3D) object using a 2D lidar, I believe you're looking to stitch point clouds or align them in a particular way to represent the object. This process of spatially aligning or transforming point clouds is called point cloud registration. I would suggest you read up on point cloud registration, Iterative closest point (ICP) and the Point cloud library (PCL).
If you're looking for SLAM specifically, the Hector SLAM package or Gmapping are great starting points. The documentation for Gmapping is slightly better than Hector SLAM (which although a great package, hasn't really been documented too much).
so i am using a rplidar a1m8 which is an 2d lidar and i am getting is laser scan at this point so could you share some working codes or resources that i can refer to for getting a point cloud form the rplidar a1m8 i started with hector slam by referring to some of the preexisting github repos but i get error after some point in each and every code

Have you tried this web search:
hector slam site:ros.orghii @Mike my aim is to scan an image of an object by moving a 2d lidar so i hope that mapping would help me do the same
yes i checked ros.org link but did not find what i am searching for or a beginner friendly tutorial for the same
