That which is claimed is: 1. A snap button comprising a snap button body and a fastener connected to the snap button body with a cloth interposed between them, wherein the snap button body comprises a button member including a base; and a metal eyelet attached to an inner surface of the base, the inner surface being placed to face the cloth, wherein the button member comprises an engaging portion provided on an outer surface opposite to the inner surface of the base, the engaging portion configured to engage with a mating snap button, wherein the fastener comprises a fastener base and a pin to be swaged, which protrudes from an inner surface of the fastener base, the inner surface being placed to face the cloth, wherein the eyelet comprises a cylindrical portion defining a substantially constant diameter, the cloth being pierced by the pin, and the pin being swaged inside the cylindrical portion of the eyelet on the inner surface of the base of the button member, wherein the button member and the fastener are made of resin, and wherein the eyelet is hidden by the base and the cloth and not visible from the outside of the snap button when the fastener is connected to the snap button body. 2. The snap button according to claim 1 , wherein the eyelet includes a thin wall portion at a cloth-side end portion of the cylindrical portion, wherein the thin wall portion covers at least a part of an opening of the cylindrical portion and has a thickness thinner than that of a side wall of the cylindrical portion, the thin wall portion being pierced by the pin. 3. The snap button according to claim 2 , wherein the thin wall portion includes a hole at its center. 4. The snap button according to claim 1 , wherein a depression is formed at a center portion on the inner surface of the base of the button member. 5. The snap button according to claim 1 , wherein the base is disk-shaped. 6. The snap button according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion is configured to repeatedly engage with and be disengaged from the mating snap button.
