Hi M Coder,

Please find the below code of your controller JS. 
To find the length use JS length method.
ex:- this.contacts.length 
☑import { LightningElement, track } from 'lwc';
import SearchContactList from '@salesforce/apex/ApexMethodWithParameters.SearchContactList';
import { ShowToastEvent } from 'lightning/platformShowToastEvent';
export default class ShowContactsIMP extends LightningElement {
/* eslint-disable no-console */
/* eslint-disable no-alert */
@track contacts;
@track error;
searchContact(event){
this.searchKey = event.target.value;
}
doSearch() {
SearchContactList({ accountName: this.searchKey })
.then(
result => {
this.contacts = result;
console.log('contacts => ', JSON.stringify(this.contacts));
alert('contacts => ', JSON.stringify(this.contacts));
this.error = undefined;

if(this.contacts.length === 0){
                const evt = new ShowToastEvent({
                    title: 'No Records Found',
                    message: 'No contact record is associated with this account',
                    variant: 'Error',
                });
                this.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
)
.catch(error => {
this.error = error;
this.contacts = undefined;
});
}
}

Thanks,

Hi M Coder,

Please find the below codes for the same funtionality using @wire services. To Use the wire service make sure your apex class method is having @AuraEnabled (cacheable= true) defined.

There is no size() method available with the array. But there is a length field available in the array that can be used to find the length or size of the array.
array.length: length is a final variable applicable for arrays. With the help of the length variable, we can obtain the size of the array. 
int size = arr[].length;

// length can be used 
// for int[], double[], String[] 
// to know the length of the arrays.
Below is the illustration of how to get the length of array[] in Java using length variable: 
// Java program to illustrate
// how to get the length of the array
  
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Here array is the
        // array name of int type
        int[] array = new int[4];
  
        System.out.println("The size of "
                           + "the array is "
                           + array.length);
The size of the array is 4 
// Java program to illustrate
// how to get the length of the array
  
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Here str is the array name
        // of String type.
        String[] str
            = { "GEEKS", "FOR" (https://couriertrackingfinder.com/apsrtc-logistics-tracking/), "GEEKS" };
  
        System.out.println("The size of "
                           + "the array is "
                           + str.length);
    }
}
The size of the array is 3
