Trigger to Count the Number of Active Contacts

I would like to modify the code below to count the number of active contacts on an account. How can I make this change? 

Inactive__c (Checkbox)

  
//Test Class

@isTest
public class testClass1{
    @isTest
    public static void unitTest1(){
        List<Account> lstAccount = new List<Account>();
        lstAccount.add(new Account(name='testAccount1'));
        lstAccount.add(new Account(name='testAccount2'));
        lstAccount.add(new Account(name='testAccount3'));
        insert lstAccount;
        List<Contact> lstContact = new List<Contact>();
        lstContact.add(new Contact(lastName='testLast1',accountId=lstAccount[1].id));                
        lstContact.add(new Contact(lastName='testLast2',accountId=lstAccount[1].id));
        lstContact.add(new Contact(lastName='testLast3',accountId=lstAccount[1].id));                
        insert lstContact;
        delete lstContact[1];
    }
}


//On Contact

trigger NumberOfContactsOnAccount on Contact (after insert, after update, after delete, after undelete) {
    List<Contact> contacts = new list<contact>();
    Map<Id,account> accounts = new map<id,account>();
    if(trigger.new!=null)
        contacts.addAll(trigger.new);
    if(trigger.old!=null)
        contacts.addAll(trigger.old);
    for(contact c:contacts)
        accounts.put(c.accountid,new account(id=c.accountid));
    accounts.remove(null);
    update accounts.values();
}


//On Account

trigger NumberOfContacts on Account (before insert, before update) {
    if(trigger.isinsert)
        for(account a:trigger.new)
            a.Number_of_contacts_2__c = 0;
    else
        for(account a:[select id,(select id from contacts) from account where id in :trigger.new])
            trigger.newmap.get(a.id).Number_of_contacts_2__c = a.contacts.size();
}

This has been resolved!! Here is the updated the trigger on account object.
  
trigger NumberOfContacts on Account (before insert, before update) {
    if(trigger.isinsert)
        for(account a:trigger.new)
            a.Number_of_contacts__c = 0;
    else
        for(account a:[select id,(select id from contacts) from account where id in :trigger.new])
            trigger.newmap.get(a.id).Number_of_contacts__c = a.contacts.size();
            
        for(account b:[select id,(select id from contacts where Inactive__c = False) from account where id in :trigger.new])
            trigger.newmap.get(b.id).Number_of_active_contacts__c = b.contacts.size();
}

Thanks!!

You can create a map of Account and list of contacts and check the size of contacts.
Map<ID,List<Contacts>> mapoAccountWithContacts  =  new Map<ID,List<Contacts>> ();
List<Contact> listOfContact = new List<Contact>();
listOfContact = [select Id, Name from Contact where Id IN: Trigger.New(id of account from trigger.new ) AND Inactive__c == False];

for(Contact eachContact  : listOfContact ){
   if(mapoAccountWithContacts.containsKey(eachContact.AccountID)){
      List<Contact> existingList = mapoAccountWithContacts.get(eachContact.AccountID);
        existingList.add(eachContact);
    mapoAccountWithContacts.put(existingList);
   }else{
      List<Contact> newList = new List<Contact>();
newList.add(eachContact);
mapoAccountWithContacts.put(newList)
   }  


And then get list of each account and check the size of the list. You will get number of active contacts related to account.

Thanks,
Vishal

Hi Vishal!!

Forgive me I am still learning Apex. I created  two fields on the account object (Number_of_Contacts__c & Number_of_Active_Contacts__c). 
The triggers in my intial post updates the total number of contacts on the Number_of_Contacts__c  field. 

And I would like for the Number_of_Active_Contacts__c field to pouplate the total number of active contacts only.  The field that determines an inactive contact is a checkbox (Inactive__c​) field. 

Where in your trigger can I incorporate field Number_of_Active_Contacts__c and is your trigger going to be added to my trigger that is on the account object or the contact object? 
  
Map<ID,List<Contacts>> mapoAccountWithContacts  =  new Map<ID,List<Contacts>> ();
List<Contact> listOfContact = new List<Contact>();
listOfContact = [select Id, Name from Contact where Id IN: Trigger.New(id of account from trigger.new ) AND Inactive__c == False];

for(Contact eachContact  : listOfContact ){
   if(mapoAccountWithContacts.containsKey(eachContact.AccountID)){
      List<Contact> existingList = mapoAccountWithContacts.get(eachContact.AccountID);
        existingList.add(eachContact);
    mapoAccountWithContacts.put(existingList);
   }else{
      List<Contact> newList = new List<Contact>();
newList.add(eachContact);
mapoAccountWithContacts.put(newList)
   }
Thanks in advance!
