But yes, you will be able to use the alias cleansing function to turn any string into a proper URL slug.

I know it's an old thread but if anyone is still looking for a code example here it is.

$resource = $modx->newObject('modResource');

// set some fields...
$resource->fromArray($someFields);

// modResource::cleanAlias 
// Transform a string into a valid URL representation
$alias = $resource->cleanAlias('My dirty URL_alias');

$resource->set('alias', $alias);

$resource->save();
