Joomla Field - Title with alias was created by Geir
Here is a quick recipe to create URL safe aliases. It does not include routing, if you need it, check out the
Joomla! docs
.
1. Create title and alias in your component, as regular Joomla textfield.
2. Build your component and unzip component.
3. Locate com_yourComponent\administrator\tables\yourTable.php and addto public function check()
4. Locate com_yourComponent\administrator\models\forms\yourTable.xml and replace title and alias fields with5. Locate com_yourComponent\administrator\views\yourTable\tmpl\edit.php and remove the title and alias fields, then add as the first line after the opening form tag
That's it! If I haven't forgotten anything at least (if I have, let me know so I can correct it).
Your title and alias fields are now using joomlas own strings, so you could clean up your language files as well.

jimport('joomla.filter.output');
if (empty($this->alias))
{
$this->alias = $this->title;
}
$this->alias = JFilterOutput::stringURLSafe($this->alias);
4. Locate com_yourComponent\administrator\models\forms\yourTable.xml and replace title and alias fields with
<field name="title" type="text" label="JGLOBAL_TITLE"
description="JFIELD_TITLE_DESC"
class="input-xxlarge input-large-text"
size="40"
required="true" />
<field name="alias" type="text" label="JFIELD_ALIAS_LABEL"
description="JFIELD_ALIAS_DESC"
hint="JFIELD_ALIAS_PLACEHOLDER"
size="40" />
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.edit.title_alias', $this); ?>

It's great to see you have implemented the routing feature for alias field.
My temporary solution however, is still valid, as it adds the missing parts of your implementation.
- Title/alias layout.
- URLsafe alias autogenerated from title
