[QGIS-Developer] QGIS equivalent of Turf/nearest-point function

[Pankajeshwara Sharma]

Dear Sebastian,

Thank you so much. I was just wondering if this tool can be called using
Python from within QGIS.

I am trying to write a Python equivalent of the following JavaScript block
of code.
nearestPoint = turf.nearestPoint(currentFeature, entire_dataset)

Yours sincerely,
Pankaj
