[Tex/LaTex] Authors typeset in bold in the reference list using bibtex

biblatex

There were some questions about this topic on the site yet, for example:

The answer by @Audrey following first link is most elaborated.

My question: the @Audreu solution works fine with no applied style of ieee style but fails when I try with APA style:

\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}

Any suggestions or pointers how to proceed?

I find the solution myself. I created the biber.conf file with the following rules:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
  <sourcemap>
    <maps datatype="bibtex" bmap_overwrite="1">
      <map>
        <map_step map_field_source="AUTHOR"
                map_match="Surname, Name"
                map_replace="\\textbf{Surname, N.}"/>
      </map>
    </maps>
  </sourcemap>
</config>

You save biber.conf file in the same location as *.tex file and compile *.tex file as usually.
