I am making a Leaflet map. I am loading some geoJSON data. I have an on click function for the map. When I click I simply want to alert the nearest point from the loaded geoJSON. The problem is that only one point is returned no matter where I click in the city ( the point shown in the image below. 
//Create the map
var map = L.map('mapdiv').setView([-43.534384, 172.640528], 13);
// Add the basemap
L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
attribution: '© <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);
// Create a variable that is the URL of the schools data
var url = 'https://koordinates.com/services/query/v1/vector.json?key=8dcaa116555f4ef1bfae391119119bdc&layer=243&x=172.640565&y=-43.534366&max_results=100&radius=100000&geometry=true&with_field_names=true';
// Get the data from the service and asign it to a variable
function httpGet(theUrl) {
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, false); // false for synchronous request
xmlHttp.send(null);
return xmlHttp.responseText;
}
var schoolData = JSON.parse(httpGet(url)).vectorQuery.layers[243];
// Set some options for styling the schools
var geojsonMarkerOptions = {
radius: 8,
fillColor: "#ff7800",
color: "#000",
weight: 1,
opacity: 1,
fillOpacity: 0.8
};
// Add the data to the map and add a popup from some wanted data
L.geoJSON(schoolData, {
onEachFeature: function(feature, layer) {
layer.bindPopup('<h3>' + feature.properties.NAME + '</h3><p><strong>Info:</strong> ' + feature.properties.TAGS + '</p>');
}
}).addTo(map);
var points = turf.featureCollection(schoolData.features);
map.on('click', function(e) {
var coord = e.latlng;
var lat = coord.lat;
var lng = coord.lng;
var targetPoint = turf.point([lat, lng]);
var nearest = turf.nearestPoint(targetPoint, points);
alert(JSON.stringify(nearest));

Posting the solution to help others in the future hopefully:
The problem I found was that Leaflet uses the format Latitude, Longitude for coordinates while Turf uses Longitude, Latitude. The reason the same point was returning was because the coordinates I was clicking at were getting flipped so I was getting the nearest of the points from 174.000, -43.000 instead of -43.000, 174.000. with a point So to fix this I simply changed the line
var targetPoint = turf.point([lat, lng]);
to
var targetPoint = turf.point([lng, lat]);
Working version below:
//Create the map
var map = L.map('mapdiv').setView([-43.534384, 172.640528], 13);
// Add the basemap
L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
attribution: '© <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);
// Create a variable that is the URL of the schools data
var url = 'https://koordinates.com/services/query/v1/vector.json?key=8dcaa116555f4ef1bfae391119119bdc&layer=243&x=172.640565&y=-43.534366&max_results=100&radius=100000&geometry=true&with_field_names=true';
// Get the data from the service and asign it to a variable
function httpGet(theUrl) {
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, false); // false for synchronous request
xmlHttp.send(null);
return xmlHttp.responseText;
}
var schoolData = JSON.parse(httpGet(url)).vectorQuery.layers[243];
// Set some options for styling the schools
var geojsonMarkerOptions = {
radius: 8,
fillColor: "#ff7800",
color: "#000",
weight: 1,
opacity: 1,
fillOpacity: 0.8
};
// Add the data to the map and add a popup from some wanted data
L.geoJSON(schoolData, {
onEachFeature: function(feature, layer) {
layer.bindPopup('<h3>' + feature.properties.NAME + '</h3><p><strong>Info:</strong> ' + feature.properties.TAGS + '</p>');
}
}).addTo(map);
var points = turf.featureCollection(schoolData.features);
map.on('click', function(e) {
var coord = e.latlng;
var lat = coord.lat;
var lng = coord.lng;
var targetPoint = turf.point([lng, lat]);
var nearest = turf.nearestPoint(targetPoint, points);
alert(JSON.stringify(nearest));
