Retrieve product count in collection

On my collection pages, where I display products and filters with the Storefront API, I would like to be able to show the count of all products in this collection. I found and tested a workaround suggested by user Babyt:

While this count is correct as long as there are no filters active, I would like to show the user a count of only the products contained in active filter(s). While the Admin API seems to provide this functionality, the Storefront API doesn’t.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think it is possible at this time. I’m hoping we’ll fix that in the SFAPI in the future.

Thanks for responding! If Storefront API could provide this in the future that’d be great.
