Adding gif into Jetpack Compose

Question

I have a gif that I would like to place into my app. I know how to insert image resources, but when I try adding the gif it becomes a static image.

DrawImage(image = +imageResource(R.drawable.gif))

Has anyone tried adding a gif into Jetpack Compose, as struggling to find docs online as to how?

Most answers here are outdated. This is the way to do it now, as of coil 2.1.0

An updated version of Hoby's answer above.

implementation "io.coil-kt:coil-compose:2.1.0"
implementation "io.coil-kt:coil-gif:2.1.0"

@Composable
fun GifImage(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
) {
    val context = LocalContext.current
    val imageLoader = ImageLoader.Builder(context)
        .components {
            if (SDK_INT >= 28) {
                add(ImageDecoderDecoder.Factory())
            } else {
                add(GifDecoder.Factory())
            }
        }
        .build()
    Image(
        painter = rememberAsyncImagePainter(
            ImageRequest.Builder(context).data(data = R.drawable.YOUR_GIF_HERE).apply(block = {
                size(Size.ORIGINAL)
            }).build(), imageLoader = imageLoader
        ),
        contentDescription = null,
        modifier = modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
    )
}
