If you have your directory in a variable like "node", you get the number of children of this node via node.children.length
see ScriptNode API | Alfresco Documentation 

or use childFileFolders | Alfresco Documentation 

node.childFileFolders(true, false).length

there you can choose to get all files, directories or files and directories...
