Talking Plugin that automatically creates APA and BIB references from your books

I was organizing my books in Calibre since I corrupted my library. I have some of the books I've used for college papers for future reference. Got the idea of making a plugin to create the references based on the info that's already in my library. Wanted to do it just because I've been learning Python, was bored and wanted to see how hard it was to create Plugins for Calibre.

With this plugin I only need to add the file to Calibre, fill any missing Info and easily create the references each time I need them. I usually do it manually or use a website, which is pretty annoying and have to do it again if I do end up using the same source for another work.

Currently the Plugin only has APA and BIB formats with title, authors, year, ISBN and publisher on it but I would gladly add more fields and other formats since adding that stuff is fairly easily now that I figured it out. I'm planning on adding maybe checkboxes for fields or not show empty fields but that will probably take some time since it's more coding than just adding formats or fields.

The code is in here: https://github.com/dogAteTaco/DATCal...in/tree/master

In case someone wants to take a look.
